Siena: Want to visit the Torre del Mangia on your own? You'll have to pay 2,000 euros.

The City Council of Siena has approved the regulations establishing a comprehensive framework for special openings of the Civic Museum and exclusive tours of the Torre del Mangia. The resolution, approved by the City Council during its session on Tuesday, July 14, and presented by Deputy Mayor Michele Capitani, defines operational procedures, authorization criteria, and fees to allow access to these two sites even outside of regular opening hours.

The new regulations allow public and private entities to request special openings for events, institutional initiatives, or official functions, with a fee of 3,000 euros for each special opening of the Civic Museum and 2,000 euros for each exclusive visit to the Torre del Mangia. The regulations also establish the procedures for submitting applications, the conditions for granting authorizations, and the obligations of applicants, with the aim of ensuring the protection and preservation of cultural heritage.

The regulation also identifies cases in which the fee may be reduced by 50% or waived entirely. These reductions apply, for example, to initiatives promoted by public agencies, cultural institutions, universities, foundations, and other entities operating for institutional purposes or in the public interest.

According to the municipal administration, the regulations are part of efforts to promote the city’s museum heritage and aim to expand opportunities to visit the Civic Museum and the Torre del Mangia, balancing accessibility needs with sustainable management and the protection of historical and artistic heritage. With the approval of the regulations, the City now has a standardized procedure for managing requests for special and exclusive visits.
