Siena Cathedral (Duomo di Siena) is a medieval church in Siena dedicated to the Assumption of Mary.
The lantern atop the dome was added by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The pulpit is made of Carrara marble and was sculpted between the end of 1265 and November 1268 by Nicola Pisano and several other artists.
Other valuable pieces of art includes The Feast of Herod by Donatello, and works by Bernini and the young Michelangelo. The Annunciation between St. Ansanus and St. Margaret, a masterwork of Gothic painting by Simone Martini and Lippo Memmi, decorated a side altar of the church until 1799, when it was moved to the Uffizi of Florence.- Wikipedia
