Guided tour of the floor of the cathedral of Siena

Dates in 2023: from June 27 to July 31 and from August 18 to October 18

In some periods of the year the Duomo of Siena becomes a museum in all respects and visitors have the great privilege of being able to admire its most majestic masterpiece in its entirety (otherwise usually covered, for reasons of conservation and worship): the floor with marble inlays. Accompanied by our guide you will discover all its secrets: the technique, the artists who worked there from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century, the anecdotes … These are 56 panels, made with the technique of marble salesman and graffiti, that unfold before the visitor’s eyes like a precious carpet, of which our guide will reveal the plot step by step.

On the occasion of the uncovering, it is also possible to visit the presbytery, generally closed to visitors, where the sixteenth-century wooden inlays that adorn the choir can be admired from a close distance.
