Siena

A few weeks ago I took a trip to Siena. It was a very cute town and I loved the winding streets with very few cars. Although it's a small place, Siena holds much to see including famous frescoes by Ambrogio Lorenzetti, a lovely Cathedral, and a large market. 

The flying bench with Lulu! 

This is Donatello's "Feast of Herod". He did the relief in bronze and you can see the depth he created for a continuous narrative.

This market was active during our stay. It's set in the same pattern as the medieval market.

Piggies!

Alpacas!

Climbing up the tower! 

The cathedral of Siena is huge!

This is the cathedral from ground level. 

The floors were covered in intricate designs. Sadly, only a few scenes can be seen in one visit because much of the floor is covered by carpeting for protection. 

These heads are high up on the walls of the cathedral. Kind of creepy 

The library of the cathedral is covered in frescoes and ceiling decoration. 

Fist-bump knocker

Siena was a beautiful place to visit for a weekend and I only wish I could have stayed longer.
