Siena Cathedral

Siena Cathedral is a stunning Gothic masterpiece located in Piazza del Duomo in the heart of Siena, Italy. Famous for its intricate marble façade and richly decorated interiors, it features artworks by Michelangelo, Donatello, and Pisano. Visitors can explore the cathedral’s mosaic floors, the Piccolomini Library, and climb the Facciatone for panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside.

The magnificent complex of the Siena Chapel is home to various works of art and architecture. The pavement inside the Siena Duomo itself is a work of art. The cathedral occupied the highest point in the city and was conceived as the largest cathedral in the world. Both the exterior and the interior of the cathedral are heavily ornamented in keeping with Gothic tradition. The Cathedral has a colour palette-that of black and white. Legend has it that these two colours symbolize the two horses of the mythical founders of the city-Senius and Aschius.
