cathedral
Siena Cathedral as an expression of the entire community's spiritual dimension is remarkable not only for the dazzling beauty of its exterior but also, indeed primarily, for the grandiose decoration of its interior, in which all the branches of figurative art are expressed at the highest level. Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, Duccio di Buoninsegna, Donatello, Michelangelo, Pinturicchio, Domenico Beccafumi and Bernini are only a few of the artists who have filled this venerable place of worship with their masterpieces. Entering here means lifting up one's heart, opening one's mind to art and discovering one of the city's best loved and most valued treasures.
