Those traveling to Siena this summer can get a glimpse of one of the northern Italian city’s most astonishing sights.

At the Medieval Duomo di Siena cathedral, in addition to the many works of art that adorn the church’s interior and exterior, visitors will be able to see nearly 14,000 square feet of intricate mosaic marble flooring dating back to the 14th century.
