What the OPA SI PASS covers
The OPA SI PASS is the official combined ticket for the monumental complex at Siena's Cathedral. With a single ticket you visit seven masterpieces around the Piazza del Duomo and use an audio guide in five languages. Buy once and enter on up to three consecutive days - no additional ticket purchase needed.
The major highlights
Siena Cathedral is a Gothic masterpiece clad in alternating bands of black and white marble. Inside you will find Nicola Pisano's pulpit, sculptures by Donatello and Michelangelo, and the famous marble floor - when it is uncovered. Directly adjoining is the Piccolomini Library, its walls covered in luminous frescoes by Pinturicchio depicting the life of Pope Pius II.
For panoramic views, climb the Facciatone - the surviving wall of the ambitious New Cathedral begun in 1339 but never completed. From the viewing terrace the sightlines stretch far across Siena and the Tuscan countryside. The Museo dell'Opera houses the Maesta by Duccio di Buoninsegna, the largest altarpiece ever painted.
