Around Siena

I started the day with a visit to Siena's 13th century Duomo, one of Italy's greatest Gothic churches. It has a magnificent marble façade and striking interior  with a beatiful inlaid marble mosaic floor, a gorgeous round stained glass window, and topped with a blue and gold hexagonal dome.  Siena has a lot to offer culturally and I spent the rest of the day visiting places such as the Baptistry withi its lovely baptismal font and the National Picture Gallery, which had masterpieces from the 12th to the 15th century on display. Prominent around Siena is the city symbol of a she-wolf suckling two infants relating to the fable of Romulus and Remus. I head to Rome tomorrow.
