The Duomo of Siena, magnificently illuminated at night. The cathedral, supreme example of Italian Gothic architecture, stands out imposing against the dark sky. The intricate façade, with its sculptural details, and the white and black striped bell tower are made even more evocative by artificial lighting. The quiet atmosphere of the deserted square enhances the solemnity and timeless beauty of this architectural masterpiece. The contrast between golden light and deep shadows creates a fascinating visual effect, highlighting the harmonious complexity of the Duomo and offering an intimate and suggestive look on one of the most iconic monuments of Siena.
