Dome called Collegiate Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, literally covered with frescoes, including one by Ghirlandaio.
The dome of San Gimignano, called the collegiate church of Our Lady of the Assumption, dates back to 1056 and was consecrated in 1148 by Pope Eugene III. Why collegial? Because it is dependent on the diocese of Volterra. Its bell tower is equipped with eight bells from the Capanni foundry in 2003. The staircase opens onto a sober 13th century Romanesque facade. There is no indication of what the interior has in store. Indeed, the duomo is literally covered with frescoes, including that of Ghirlandaio, St. Gregory telling St. Fina of his impending death (1475) in the Santa Fina chapel.

Le Duomo de San Gimignano
Une façade très austère, entouré de palais et de tours, perché au-dessus d'un escalier, le Duomo ne laisse pas paraître les splendeurs qui existent à l'intérieur. En effet, dès l'entrée, on est émerveillé par toutes les peintures murales qui embellissent l'ensemble des murs.

La façade du dôme S.Maria Assunta s'élève de manière majestueuse en surplomb d'une large place très animé. A l'intérieur, les parois sont couvertes de fresques magnifiques. La visite la plus importante de San Gimignano.

Magnifique édifice à visiter dans, finalement, une petite ville. S'il fait chaud, sa fraicheur est bienvenue...
The best at San Gimignano and around
