Welcome to thepalio.eu. This is the English (smaller) version of palio.be; the oldest palio website on the web. In 2022 we celebrated our 20th birthday. And in 2023 we released our PalioApp.

A city like Siena is more than image. A rich history, nice walks and good food and drinks. Discover it all..
