RE: Siena, a medieval city in Italy
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Indeed, there are a lot of magnificent church architecture in Europe. Religion is definitely a major player in European life and Italy has a lot of sacred buildings to support this. What architectural detail or design element of the church in Siena has fascinated or impressed you the most?

To be honest, I know nothing about design or architecture, but I'm always in awe of these centuries old massive structures and the intricate works. I don't know what most of these carvings represent, but how did they do it back then? How did the designer communicate his ideas and thoughts to the stone masonry? How long did it take to master the craftmanship? How many did they carve before this succesfful one? What has these carvings been through during the centuries? All this can be done easily today with technology, but they had nothing back,they are definitely a lot lot more clever than we know, and probably even more clever than us today.

You’re absolutely correct! We continue to stand in awe as we admire these historical works of architecture and design. Their craftsmen and builders had no access to the technology we enjoy today, nevertheless they achieved seemingly impossible feats and projects that still let us scratch our heads until now. Thank you so much for your interesting thoughts!
