The intricate facade of the Duomo of the city of Siena, Tuscany in Italy is in complete contrast to the more severe, though striking, black and white stripes of the Campanile. The impressive details of the Siena Duomo facades are an exciting blend of Gothic and Italian Romanesque styles which took many years to complete.
The facades were built in many different stages and the architecture is amazing as the beauty of this cathedral adorns the city of Siena. Many tourists find this historic building to be one of the most impressive tourist attractions in the city.
