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

This was my favorite church/cathedral in Italy. Just tons of interesting things going on, from the floor to the ceiling and everywhere in between. Well worth a slice of your day.

Wow it is magnificent. Friends had told us it is even more awe inspiring than the Duomo in Florence and we had to agree they were right.

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.

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
