Siena Cathedral

The grandeur of the Cathedral of Siena is extreme. One of the most beautiful Cathedrals in the world. The outside is huge and majestic. There is so much to see on the inside. The floor, the pillars and the arches, the Piccolomini library... and several individual art objects. For the technical information about this Cathedral I advise you to read the Wikipedia page about this Doumo.

This blog gives an impression about the pillars and arches.

Where angels fly....

These angels fly in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Brasilia. They are made (in 1970) by Alfredo Ceschiatti together with Dante Croce. The Cathedral is one of the many masterpieces of Oscar Niemeyer.

Looking down from the bus station to the parliament.... there behind the half globe of the National Museum you see the cathedral.

Niemeyer was not a church going person. Yet he did build churches. And this church is magnificent. The light coming through the glass patterns is full of joy. This is a church where the message of joy and light comes alive.

An exceptional building.
