Siena Italy photos pictures - Duomo and campanile

Siena: Another view of the Duomo (Catedrale di Santa Maria) and its campanile or bell tower. The arches on the right are from a 14th Century plan to build a massive new cathedral, using the existing Duomo as the transept. That project was abandoned due to structural problems and the Black Death of 1348, which killed four-fifths of Siena's population. Today, visitors to the adjacent Museo dell'Opera del Duomo can climb steps to the top of the arches for a panoramic view of the city.
