Siena's Cathedral

Siena’s Cathedral, also known as the ‘Duomo di Siena’ is a medieval Roman Catholic Church first built between the years 1215 and 1263 on the site of a previously existing structure. It is a beautiful and impressive building, with the outer walls made of white and greenish-black marble with an addition of red marble on the façade. The inside of the building is made of very similar material and the church’s layout is that of a Latin cross with a dome and a 250 foot bell tower that was built and completed in the year 1313.The Duomo di Siena is one of the greatest examples of Italian Roman-gothic architecture in a cathedral and it is said that the great composer Richard Wagner, upon seeing the Cathedral of Siena for the first time, was moved to tears.
