Visit the Duomo or Cathedral , a treasure chest that holds immense art treasures, statues by Michelangelo, Donatello, Bernini, the Pulpit by Nicola Pisano. Siena Cathedral, rising majestically in the omonymous city square, is one of Italy’s most illustrious Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals. According to tradition, the present Cathedral replaces an earlier church dedicated to the Virgin Mary erected in the 9^th century or thereabouts on the site of a temple serving the cult of Minerva. Siena Cathedral contains numerous masterpieces from every age, but its marble mosaic inlay and graffito floor is in many ways its most prized possession. Giorgio Vasari certainly considered it the “most beautiful…, largest and most magnificent floor ever made”. You will see the wonderful  Libreria Piccolomini with its fresco cycle of outstanding quality, in which Pinturicchio illustrates ten episodes from the life of Pope Pius II, making full use of his endless supply of narrative and chromatic talent.
You could enter the Baptistery, a point of encounter for Renaissance artists; a symbol of Early Renaissance art in Siena: frescoes by Lorenzo di Pietro known as “Vecchietta” and a baptismal font with work by Jacopo della Quercia, Lorenzo Ghiberti and Donatello.The visit  will continue  down into the Crypt, to enjoy the breathless beauty of  the grandiose pictorial cycle from the XIII century, it is one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the past twenty years.
You will enter the Museo dell’Opera, to admire some of the must-see treasures of Italian art, including the world-famous Maestà dy Duccio di Buoninsegna ,  the very delicate Golden Rose by Bernini, the Madonna and Child by Donatello and the moving Crucifix by Pisano.
Last but not least  the visit with a climb up to the Facciatone  where you will enjoy  the most fascinating and unforgettable view over  Siena and the  countryside.
