Duomo di Siena

Siena Cathedral – Siena, Italy

The magnificent Siena Cathedral, also known as the Duomo di Siena, stands as one of the finest examples of Italian Gothic architecture. Constructed between the 12th and 14th centuries, the cathedral reflects the wealth and artistic ambition of the medieval Siena.

Its striking façade of black-and-white marble echoes the traditional colors of Siena, while the interior is richly decorated with sculptures, mosaics, and an extraordinary marble floor composed of intricate inlaid panels. Among the artists who contributed to the cathedral are Nicola Pisano, Donatello, and Michelangelo.

The cathedral remains one of the most impressive religious monuments in Tuscany.
