[Siena, Italy] The Piccolomini family library is a must-see! Siena Cathedral

#FreeHotelStay The cathedral in Siena, Tuscany, Italy, is magnificent! Its grandeur and elegance is said to be a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture, and the black and white marble creates a stunning contrast. The glittering star pattern on the cupola inside the cathedral is cute, but the overall impression is the black and white striped marble. There are 56 religious scenes painted in marble on the floor, and you can't help but admire the craftsmanship. The Piccolomini family library inside the Duomo is overwhelmingly cute and beautiful. Don't forget to see it. Not only are the 15th century hymn books decorated with colorful ornaments, but the floor painted with moons and the glittering ceiling! It was a library filled with the splendor of Siena's Italian noble families, who flourished from the Middle Ages to modern times.
