One of the great marvels of Italian architecture is the Duomo in the city of Siena.
For many years the cathedral was under restoration. Now it has unveiled its work and it is spectacular.
The cathedral is one of the most ornate examples of architecture in the world.
The ceiling pictured above is known as the "porta del cielo" or the door to heaven.
The cathedral was built in the 13th century and is one of the crown jewels of the picturesque town of Siena, Italy.
