Tuscany experience: unforgettable sunrise over Siena
Witness the Dawn Over Siena: Prima Lux Sunrise Experience
Imagine standing atop the historic Facciatone or the rooftop terrace—altana—of Palazzo delle Papesse in the deep pre-dawn hush, watching night yield to the first blush of light as the Tuscan skyline awakens. From September 6 to 27, 2025, on four early Saturday mornings, Opera della Metropolitana di Siena and Palazzo delle Papesse invite just a handful of guests to this rare spectacle—Prima Lux
