Gothic basilica begun in 1226, dedicated to St. Catherine of Siena.
Basilica, also known as Basilica Cateriniana, dedicated to Saint Catherine of Siena, philosopher and theologian born in Siena in 1347. Raised on the tufa hill of Camporegio, this imposing Gothic red brick building was begun in 1226 and enlarged in the 14th century. Its plan is an Egyptian cross. In addition to the relics of Saint Catherine (her mummified head and right thumb), we can admire the frescoes by Sodoma, the only portrait of the saint painted by her contemporary and friend Andrea Vanni around 1380, a Crucifixion by Salimbeni, among others.

Basilique située sur une colline d'où l'on a une superbe vue sur le Duomo. Ce n'est pas la plus belle église de la ville.

Au sommet d'une colline face à celle du dôme, cette grande église sobre et clair possède de beaux éléments décoratifs religieux. A faire car en plus le trajet du dôme est pittoresque.

Non loin, un superbe point de vue qui permet de voir à quel point l'édifice est impressionnant. Assez fréquentée en tout temps par les groupes de touristes car les bus touristiques se parquent à proximité. Assez nue à l'intérieur, ce qui accentue sa taille.
The best at Siena and around
