Ancient cathedral in Siena

A must-see attraction in Siena is Siena Cathedral, which is also the soul of Siena! At first glance, I was shocked by its exquisite exterior wall relief, which concentrated the essence of the Gothic period. In the bright sun of Tuscany, it was white and sparkling! A fairly large-scale church, if it is built, may be the largest church in the world; but unfortunately, it was closed after a little half of the construction due to the impact of the Black Death and became the current Siena Cathedral! Inside the cathedral, the most eye-catching and impressive thing for me is the large pillars supporting the cathedral. The snake pattern of light and dark two-color marble, a cold emerald green sense spreads, like the spread of germs, silently! #ancienttown #churches #church

Duomo di Siena

Sitting on top of a big butte of volcanic tuff, Orvieto retains large signs of its Etrurian past, so much so that the first thing that stood out to me was the light brown tones across its alleys and its roads. The Duomo cathedral is the main attraction. The church was built in the 14th century and is dedicated to the Ascending of the Virgin Mary. Aesthetically it might remind you of the more famous Cathedral of Siena, obviously because of its roman-gothic style! This one in Orvieto is one of the most significant in Italy. Don’t miss a visit to another landmark of note, like Torre del Moro for a sunset view of the town and the surrounding hills, Pozzo di San Patrizio and Fortezza Albornoz! Since we are in Umbria, food plays a unique role. Local cuisine is highly appreciated thanks to its cured meats and other traditional dishes. If you’re planning a road trip across Italy, don’t miss this part of the country for its authenticity. #italy #italytravel #italybeauties #umbria #orvieto #awesomepic #travel #town #oldtown

Duomo di Siena

Siena is not as famous as Florence, but it is located close to Florence. It is one of the old city which in history it used to be Florence’s opponent in terms of development. As we can see, they also have a Duomo (cathedral) which look similar to Florence, but due to some reasons they couldnt finish building it. The city itself is very beautiful and hilly, so be ready to climb up and down #HalloTrip
