This tour will give you the chance to skip the long queues at Siena Cathedral during the busiest season when this 13th-century Roman-Gothic church reveals its magnificent marble floor to the public.
The inlaid marble mosaic design on the entire floor of the cathedral is one of the most ornate of its kind in Italy. The floor is thus kept covered for protection, and the uncovered floor can only be seen for a period of six to ten weeks each year.
Within the cathedral complex, you’ll also visit the Piccolomini library, decorated with exquisite frescoes on three of its walls.
