When is the marble floor of the Siena Cathedral unveiled? 

The marble floor of the Siena Cathedral which contains 56 stunning panels created by Sienese artists is a defining feature of the 13th-century church. However, for most of the year, most of the floor of the Cathedral is covered by a cloth in order to protect panels from staining or being scratched.

The good news is that for a period of time, the floor is unveiled for the public to see. In the year 2022, the floor was unveiled from 27 June to 31 July and from 18 August to 17 October. It is expected that similar dates will be followed in the year 2023.
