Pictures In Siena



Siena's City Tower (In Il Campo)

Siena's biggest cathedral. They built it with a huge hole in top for the dome. At the time, no one knew how to build a dome so large, so the hole remained until architectural knowledge caught up.

Il Campo: imagine a horse race here! (They bring in dirt.)

The Top of Siena City Tower - Note: The city tower and City Hall is the center of Siena - NOT the Duomo. State before Church. I love Siena.
