With its more than one million visitors every year, the Cathedral without a doubt represents the fulcrum of the entire complex, while other significant elements include the Crypt, the Baptistery and the Museo dell'Opera, all part of the impressive mass formed by the "Duomo Vecchio" (Old Cathedral), and the "Duomo Nuovo" (New Cathedral). Visitors will travel along a memorable itinerary to the discovery of self and the truth of faith through culture and art, the result of more than a millennium of Western history. « less

Do not miss this one! It is absolutely amazing and like nothing you have ever seen. Black and white marble inside. Did not have time to visit the museum but would try to do so if we visit again.

This was my absolute favorite of all the cathedrals my husband and I visited. The arcitecture was amazing and I was in awe of the sculptures and artwork on the inside. A definite must see if your traveling to Siena. Make sure you buy the combo ticket and tour around the museum. Once you've gone through all the rooms with... More

One of the few cathedrals where looking down at the floor (with the fabulous mosaics) is just as spectacular as looking up at the ceiling or at the art along the walls and in the chapels.

An amazing gothic cathedral. Easy to find from anywhere in the city. The cost has gone up a little $12 for combo pass that includes the Cathedral, museum, baptistery, and crypt. Climb to the top at museum for amazing views.

A very impressive Cathedral, Inside and out, beautiful structure, The floor is decorated with large mosaics. Worth to buy a combined ticket of attractions in Siena, which also includes a beautiful view on the roofs of Siena, on the cathedral and on Piazza del Campo.

Well worth a visit, a spectacular building with an equally impressive inside, there is a lot to see and it's worth getting an all in ticket at 12€. They have done a particularly good restoration in the crypt were the roof is held up by a metal structure that in no way detracts from the fabric of the building. (The... More

Very difficult to think of anything to add to what's already been written. I don't normally buy guide books of cathedrals; Siena was so good that I made an exception.

interesting church, it does not really preach religion but philosophies of life. Beautiful mosiac pictures on the floor. Its better to have a guide to explain the meanings of the pics.

This is a must see in Siena. I have to admit that we didn't get inside the cathedral as the q was too long. However, it's still very impressive even looking from the outside. See my photos and please vote for me if you find this review helpful. Thank you very much.
