Sienna: Atop the City Wall

Dave climbed to the top of the city wall to take in the sights.  Above is Sienna's main piazza.

From the city wall, looking back over to the Duomo. Remember, this city wall was going to be the wall of the main cathedral, with the building you are looking at acting as an entry way, but drat the plague.

The picture below better shows the plan for the main cathedral.  Notice the striped columns that are already in place prior to the plague halting work.




I decided to sit this climb out--that pesky knee of mine.  Dave found my green sweater and me on the steps of the church.
