Slaughter of the Innocents - floor of Siena Duomo


The floor is really unbelievable - the entire floor is marble inlay with intricate designs. The floor is only uncovered during October every year. - We were there in 2003 and 2005 - and the floor was uncovered in 2005.

This scene is called the Slaughter of the Innocents from the New Testament. There are about 20 or 25 different sections of the floor with different scenes from the Bible and from the Siena history.
