Duomo di Siena

avatar
@asteryx
Imagine standing before the magnificent Duomo di Siena, a masterpiece of Italian Gothic architecture that looks as though it’s been plucked from the vibrant canvas of a Renaissance painting. Its intricate facade, a symphony of white and greenish-black marble, draws your gaze upward, much like the opening scene of a classic film that leaves you in awe of its grandeur. Inside, the cathedral reveals a kaleidoscope of art and architectural wonders—a striking black and white nave, an ornately carved pulpit, and masterpieces by the likes of Michelangelo and Donatello. Walking through Duomo di Siena is akin to journeying through a living art museum, each corner revealing a new scene filled with centuries of history and artistic genius. From above, you can feast your eyes on panoramic vistas of Siena, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the city's iconic landmarks. It's as if you're peering down from a bird's-eye view in a captivating drone shot from a film. (before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements)

This snapshot of Duomo di Siena was captured with a drone, launching from Via Camporegio in Siena—a location that's merely a five-minute northwestard stroll from the Cathedral. The GPS coordinates for this location will navigate you right to this ideal launch pad, almost like following a treasure map to the perfect aerial shot. If you want to go directly to the cathedral, starting from Piazza del Campo, the heart of Siena, make your way towards Via del Capitano. Follow this narrow, winding street uphill until you reach Via del Paradiso. Turn right here, and then take the first left onto Via del Fosso di Sant'Ansano. This charming, cobbled lane will lead you directly to the stunning facade of the Duomo di Siena, rising like a dramatic finale in a cinematic tour-de-force.
