• Piazza del Duomo - The Duomo square provides a stunning view, particularly at sunset, when the sun’s rays illuminate the polychrome marble of the buildings that make up the city’s religious complex: the Baptistery, the Cathedral, and Giotto’s Bell Tower. The chromatic harmony of green, white, and red beautifully complements the stylistic diversity.

Construction began in 1296, designed by Arnolfo di Cambio, and was completed in 1436 with Filippo Brunelleschi’s majestic dome, a remarkable engineering feat.

Featuring a façade of white, green, and pink marble, the cathedral is famous for its impressive size and intricate decorative details. Giotto’s Campanile, adjacent to the church, and the Baptistery of St. John, with Lorenzo Ghiberti’s famous Gates of Paradise, complete the magnificent complex.

The interior, relatively modest compared to the exterior, houses artworks by artists such as Paolo Uccello and Donatello. The dome, with its renowned frescoes of the Last Judgment by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari, dominates Florence’s skyline and remains one of the world’s most admired architectural wonders.

Standing over 100 meters high, the dome is an engineering marvel, built without scaffolding using an innovative herringbone brick pattern. Inside, it is adorned with magnificent frescoes of the Last Judgment by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari.
