About

Your visit to Siena Cathedral and Piccolomini Library

Step into the heart of Siena’s heritage as you delve into two of its most treasured historic sites. This ticket gives you an all-access pass to Gothic artistry and Renaissance marvels, enriched by an in-depth audio guide you can access via your smartphone. Tailor the pace of your visit and unlock centuries of architectural and artistic achievement.

Arrival and entry

Begin your experience by presenting your voucher at the Cripta del Duomo di Siena ticket office where you'll receive your entry ticket. Pass through the cathedral’s main entrance, where your ticket is validated. Security procedures are straightforward, ensuring a smooth start. From this point, you’re free to explore independently.

Discovering the Duomo

Admire the Siena Cathedral—an icon of Gothic design. Its facade boasts carved stonework and intricate statues, while inside, alternating bands of black and white marble create a dramatic effect. Surrounded by vaulted ceilings and sunlight filtering through stained glass, visitors can explore ornate chapels and rich decorations at every turn.

From mid to late summer (check annual dates), the cathedral’s celebrated mosaic floors are fully uncovered. These scenes are crafted from thousands of pieces of coloured marble and are among the cathedral’s greatest features.

Exploring artistic treasures

  • The Piccolomini Library showcases a remarkable series of frescoes by Pinturicchio, illustrating episodes from the life of Pope Pius II. The library’s careful preservation and vivid wall art give a feel for Siena’s Renaissance splendour.

  • The OPA SI PASS (if selected) expands your experience beyond the cathedral, granting entrance to the Baptistery with its striking font, the atmospheric Crypt, the art-filled Museo dell’Opera and the Facciatone viewpoint—one of the highest panoramic spots in Siena. The Oratory of San Bernardino is also included during its seasonal opening.
