We visited the cathedral on a rainy day so lots of people taking shelter. The architecture is amazing and you really need to take your time to see it all and not miss the minor details. This place is truly amazing and one of the best we have visited over Europe, and we have seen a lot.

The cathedral in Siena is by far my favorite. Although St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican is amazing nothing compares to the amazing marble floor etchings of the Siena Duomo. My wife and have been here several times and love spending hours looking at the floors. I would highly recommend this cathedral if you are in or anywhere near Siena. My wife and I bought a pass that included the chathedral museum, the baptisry and the main catherdral. It's totally worth it! The busiest is the cathedral so I would recommend getting there early to enjoy the floors before it gets crowded, then you can move on to the baptestry and museum. If you travel all the way to the top of the museum you can take a stairs to a high lookout point that can be seen from the courtyard by the ticket office. It's totally worth the long trek up the stairs but the lines can get pretty long so it's worth it to either do that first or second after the cathedral.

The floor was uncovered during our visit so we could se the images, impressive and beautiful! A lot of people so try to be there when it opens.

very beautiful and very well preserved. We suggest the OPA ticket. Take you time exploring all the altars.
