Watch a trial from atop a medieval tower!



Experience the magic of the Palio from atop a medieval tower! Our host will open the doors of his family's 13th-century palace and up, up, up we will go until we're right over the mossa (starting ropes) with an incredible view of the entire Piazza del Campo! Watch as thousand of people enter the square, signing in praise of their Contrada and disparaging their rival, then find out horses Fate has assigned to each Contrada and see what you make of everyone's chances.

Dates/Times:
Thurs. 13 Aug. 18:30/6:30pm (for 19:00/7pm trial)
Fri. 14 Aug. 8:30am (for 9am trial) and/or 18:30/6:30pm (for 19:00/7pm trial)
Sat. 15 Aug. 8:30am (for 9am trial)

Once you book, I will email you with more information, including pricing and our meeting time and place.

NB: There is no elevator to reach the top, and although it is extremely safe up there, those who suffer from vertigo might not feel at ease.
