Fontebranda<\/span><\/p>\n

The largest and at the same time the most important among the sources of Siena, an imposing structure with a wonderful Gothic style.<\/p>\n

This is Fontebranda, a medieval source born in Siena since the 13th century <\/strong> and which includes three ogival arches in full Gothic style on which stand marvels of marvelous workmanship, a front with four lion-shaped gushes and in the the Balzana center, the famous emblem of the city of Siena.<\/p>\n

Fontebranda, like all traditional medieval sources, consists of three tanks <\/strong>, one for drinking water, one for watering the animals and one that served as a wash-house.<\/p>\n

Fontebranda was an integral part of a fine hydraulic system that you can see in the Water Museum <\/strong> and that, through an underground aqueduct and numerous canals, managed to feed tanneries, dyeing plants and of course the mills.<\/p>\n

Fontebranda is located in the territory of the Noble Contrada dell’Oca <\/strong> and was so famous and known in antiquity as to be mentioned by Dante Alighieri himself in the Divine Comedy and more precisely in verses 76-78 of the 30th Canto dell ‘Hell.<\/p>\n

Like all the main monuments of Siena it can be reached more quickly if you decide to stay in a hotel in the center <\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hotel Minerva is a 3-star hotel in the center of Siena, equipped with paid parking <\/strong> with twenty seats available.<\/p>\n
