The Museo dell’Opera and Facciatone are part of the Cathedral of Sienna. The museum has a lot of small rooms and it is not one of the best we went to; however, you have to go through the museum to get to the Facciatone. Follow the signs to the Facciatone. The Facciatone is a panorama view of Sienna and the surrounding countryside. There are very narrow stairs going up to the top of Facciatone. These steps are one-way and very tight. If you are claustrophobic this is not the staircase for you. When you get to the top (after the first set of stairs you are not at the top) the view is amazing. The first landing has a great view of the rooftops of Sienna on one side and the Duomo on the other side. Looking over the rooftops, you will see the Tuscan countryside surrounding Sienna. I could live here. On the first landing, make sure you find the even narrower spiral staircase. This one doesn’t go up too much more, but it takes you to the absolute top and you must get up there. From the top you can see the bell tower and the main Sienna square.
