If you happen to be in Siena, then regardless of the purpose of visiting this interesting city, you must visit the Siena Cathedral. It is not for nothing that it is called the most beautiful temple in Italy. The interior decoration is of rare beauty, marble floors amaze with the technique of creation. On them, biblical stories are intertwined with ancient mythology, historical symbols - with allegories, half-erased medieval images with realistic paintings. The floors are open for public viewing only in the summer. In the temple, most of the statues are copies, but you can see the originals nearby in the Duomo Museum, all the more so since it’s more convenient to take a ticket right away, which includes visiting several masterpieces (Siena Cathedral, museum, baptistery ... ) immediately on the square in front of the cathedral. There is an observation deck on the unfinished wall, if you go up, you will definitely not regret seeing all of Siena from above, including the cathedral in all its glory.
