Description
The piazza in front of the cathedral in Siena Italy become very busy just before sunset as everyone comes to enjoy the sunset light that falls upon the west facade of the cathedral. Siena Cathedral (or Duomo di Siena, or Duomo of Santa Maria Assunta) is a medieval church in Siena, Italy, dedicated from its earliest days as a Roman Catholic Marian church, and now dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. The cathedral was originally designed and completed between 1215 and 1263 on the site of an earlier structure. The lantern atop the dome was added by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The exterior and interior are constructed of white and greenish-black marble in alternating stripes, with addition of red marble on the facade. The main entry facade is unique in that it contains elements of Tuscan Romanesque architecture (the rounded arches at the bottom), early Gothic architecture (the pointed arches just above) and late Gothic architecture in a more flamboyant style (the frilly top half).
