Inside, visitors can explore the richly decorated spaces, where intricate frescoes and ornate details reflect the artistic mastery of the period. The baptistery offers a striking contrast between its understated exterior and the opulent beauty within, providing a glimpse into the cultural and artistic heritage of Siena.
