    THE DOOR OF THE SKY

    Divine Beauty - OPA Complex Siena
    Siena, Cathedral


    • The Cathedral of Siena never finishes to amaze.  After uncovering the floors and allowing a large number of Italian and foreign visitors to discover the marquetry designed by the ancient masters and depicting a journey of knowledge and faith, the cathedral now opens its doors to the building’s summit.  After a long restoration, starting from 6 April, it will be possible to admire the ‘sky’ of the cathedral, which is a series of rooms never before opened to the public and for centuries prohibited to everyone except for the skilled workers of the great architects who passed through the centuries, leaving behind their projects and sketches sometimes written directly on the walls.
