inside the duomo in Siena



the ceiling of the duomo

so today we went to siena. wow. this was a pretty damn cool city. we started out at the walls of the fortress -- it was crazy, i can't imagine anyone even trying to invade the city back in the middle ages. those walls were huge. we then made it to the cathedral of San Dominico where the head of Saint Catherine is kept. from there it was a slow hike down the hill to the original city fountain and then another slow hike up to the top of the hill again. we stoped by the oldest bank of italy, the Sieness and then made it to the duomo or otherwise called the church of Santa Maria Della Scalla. this was crazy. the church is huge and all the frescos were out of control. the whole floor of the thing is one giant peice of art. we also saw the Campo, the biggest square in Siena and one of the most famous in italy. we had lunch at this cool place near Il Campo - it was delish. 15 euro well spent. we also went into the main Palazo and into a museum that held tons of paintings from the rennaisance. other than that, we had some good coffee at a random place and we saw tons of cool stores.



look at kelly, michelle and colleen being super happy in Siena.
