Siena Cathedral, Medieval cathedral in Siena, Italy.
The cathedral features alternating stripes of white and dark-green marble across its walls, representing the traditional colors of the city of Siena.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1196 under the guidance of the masons' guild, with major contributions from architect Giovanni Pisano.
The marble floor contains 56 panels depicting biblical scenes and allegories, created by numerous artists between the 14th and 16th centuries.
Visitors can purchase the OPA Si Pass to access the cathedral, Piccolomini Library, Museo dell'Opera, Baptistery, Crypt, and Diocesan Museum.
A rediscovered crypt beneath the cathedral contains original 13th-century frescoes that remained hidden and preserved for centuries.
