Surrounded by Tuscan beauty, the church of Corsignano has been standing possibly since the 7th Century CE. The present facade was constructed in the 12th Century CE and is remarkably well-preserved. Constructed in Tufa Rock, the church is a must-visit for some solitude.

This is the third great building in the artistic and cultural triangle of Siena. It has been in use since the end of the 11th Century to aid the sick and the pilgrims that trod the Via Francigena from Canterbury to Rome, these pilgrims were referred to as "Romei".

The closure of three sections of what was known as the "New Duomo" (in 1339 anyway) brought about the foundation of Museo dell'Opera del Duomo. From the museum, it is possible to climb up to the top of the front of the Duomo for a view of the city and beyond. Among the most important works displayed are "Madonna and Child" by Jacopo della Quercia, "Majesty" by Duccio and the altarpiece with Blessed Agostino Novello by Simone Martini. There is also an important reliquary and the collection of sculpture by Giovanni Pisano.

The Museo d’Arte Per Bambini is a children’s art museum housed inside the Santa Maria della Scala complex. Founded in 1998, the museum is dedicated to exposing children to art and culture of all kinds from an early age. It’s a matter of four small rooms with a nice mix of contemporary and antique art set up for children to enjoy, including paintings, photography, sculpture, and video installations. Children can interact with works of art using all five senses, and participate in educational programs designed to encourage their creative sense of play.
