Cathedral of Pienza: A Renaissance Masterpiece

This is the magnificent Cathedral of Pienza (Duomo di Pienza), a masterpiece of the Renaissance period. Its milky-white façade glows brilliantly under the Tuscan sun, creating a striking contrast with the blue sky. Above the main entrance, the coat of arms of Pope Pius II's family is carved, featuring two crossed keys on a shield—symbolizing the Pope's authority over the gates of heaven and representing Pienza's central role as the "ideal city." This cathedral is not only a center of religious faith but also a testament to the history and culture of this small town. #mytraveldiary
