Cathedral of Siena

infohistoryphotohotel

cathedral of sienaOne of the most astonishing churches of Italy, characterized by its stones and its white and blacks marble, it was built from 1136 to 1382.

A nave remained unfinished because of the plague of 1348, without what, it would have become the largest Christian cathedral.

Decorations and chefs d'oeuvre abound there - perhaps excessively – among its sculptures of Donatello, Pisano and Michel-Angel.
