Saint John the Baptist (San Giovanni Battista), after whom this baptismal church in Siena was named, is—like Saint Joseph—a man on the threshold between the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After announcing the Incarnation through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who, in her old age, will give birth to a son, John the Baptist. John the Baptist is six months older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sin to the Jewish population, and baptizes them in the Jordan River. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, where he is filled with the Holy Spirit, who descends upon him from heaven.
The feast day of Saint John the Baptist in the calendar of saints is June 24, exactly six months before Christmas Eve.

The cathedral is beautiful inside, and from the upper floor, you can enjoy views of the other buildings, including the tower. There are half-hourly demonstrations of the echo in the building, sung by one of the staff. They are truly impressive and worth staying for.
