Numerous artists over the centuries contributed to its splendor; Duccio's stained glass window, Donatello & Michelangelo's statues, Pinturicchio's frescoes and Bernini's Lantern are just a fraction of the artistic and architectural achievements housed here. The marble interior is in the city colours of Siena, black and white stripes, and the huge mosaic floor tells stories of the cities lore and biblical scenes.
