San Gimignano’s Duomo is known for its striking frescoes depicting biblical scenes, including the story of Cain and Abel, Noah’s Ark, and the Garden of Eden, and dramatic renderings of heaven and hell. Highlights include works by Bartolo di Fredi, Lippo Memmi, Benozzo Gozzoli, and Taddeo di Bartolo.
Adjoining the church, the small Museum of Sacred Art (Museo d'Arte Sacra) houses a collection of artworks taken from the Duomo and other local churches, including a crucifix by Benedetto di Maiano and the Madonna of the Rose by Bartolo di Fredi. Be sure to visit the Duomo’s Chapel of Santa Fina, a Renaissance masterpiece by architect Giuliano da Maiano, sculptor Benedetto da Maiano, and painter Domenico Ghirlandaio.
