Siena Cathedral

most fascinating cathedral, the "Blue Wonder" as I affectionately call it, is definitely my favorite cathedral and I hope to ever see in person. I present to you the light of Siena:

The city of Siena is in the region of Tuscany, Italy, and is home to the cathedral dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption. Siena's cathedral is Gothic Mediterranean, which tended to the horizontal, the decorative simplicity and lack of openings in the walls, moving away from the characteristics French Gothic, all features that can be found in it.

Siena cathedral has a Latin cross plan, with a cruise is not very developed, a central dome and a bell tower in Romanesque style, attached to one side behind the facade. To the outside white and green marble used in strips that emphasize the horizontal direction of the building, and is one of the most characteristic features of the cathedral.

The facade has three arches (one per door), topped by triangular pediments, a huge rose window, or oculus, a typical element of the Gothic, and a tympanum decorated with reliefs crowning the facade. On both sides of the walls There are two small towers, do not follow the structure and form of the strong towers with square bases of French Gothic.
The interior of the cathedral has three naves separated by arches and vaults. The interior decoration is mainly based on the combination of black and white horizontal stripes on both columns as in the walls of the cathedral. The vaults are decorated on a blue background star.
The Black Death that ravaged Italy and the rest of Europe, stopped the works that sought to expand the cathedral in 1348, works that were inconclusive, and remain to this day near the cathedral, as a reminder ruins of one of the most devastating epidemics in the western population caused the fourteenth century. This magnificent cathedral was the scene of the film misunderstood Apprentice Knight ( Virgin Territory ) The film passed just at the time when the plague ravaged Italy, as displayed bonfires to burn the dead in front of the facade at night scenes, or piles of corpses piled in during the daytime scenes.

Undoubtedly the most striking scene, and in which one appreciates the magnificent set which is the cathedral, is on the stage of presentation of the protagonist promised Count film, Pampinea, a scene in which the count goes riding with white horses which further accentuates the brightness of the building in the square which is the cathedral, and around, this scene is very visual quickly and shows much of the cathedral.

worth seeing the movie just to see the scenes featuring the cathedral. The last three images are captured from the movies Apprentice Knight.
Siena Cathedral dazzle when the sun reaches its white marble facade reflects the huge oculus Tuscan blue sky, as if inside the building was the real sky.
