The heart of art, history and tradition of Siena, the Duomo of Siena whose impressive mass rises in harmony with the square, constitutes one of the most illustrious examples of Romanesque-Gothic cathedrals in Italy. According to tradition, the current cathedral took the place of an early church dedicated to Mary, built around the XI century on the site of an earlier temple dedicated to Minerva. Although not documented, it is believed that the building was consecrated in 1179 in the presence of pope Alessandro III Bandinelli from Siena, following the peace treaty signed with the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I, known as Barbarossa.
