These are the steps

worth it. Below are pictures taken from the top.
Siena: The Piazza del Campo, Siena's main square and the site of
the Palio horse races in July and August.
Siena: Main façade of the Catedrale
di Santa Maria, more commonly known as the "Duomo." The cathedral is
believed to have been consecrated by Pope Alexander III (a Sienese native)
in 1189, and the structure was complete by the mid-1200s.
