Siena Cathedral

The Siena Cathedral already has a striking appearance thanks to the black and white decorations found throughout the cathedral. The floor is one of the highlights. You can admire it best when you look down from the gallery, because this floor consists of 57 surfaces, all telling different Biblical stories. More than 40 artists worked on the floor between the fourteenth and sixteenth century. Together they have created a labyrinth of artworks that are best viewed from a distance. Believers who have committed a sin crawl on the floor with their knees to find grace.
