• Piazza del Duomo - Piazza del Duomo is located in the heart of the historic center of Florence. It is dominated by the mass of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and related buildings such as Giotto’s bell tower and the baptistery of San Giovanni.
• The Baptistery of St. John - The baptistery of San Giovanni Battista is a famous religious building in Florence, located in the Piazza San Giovanni of the same name, in front of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Dedicated to the patron saint of the city, it was for centuries the place where Florentines obtained baptism and was the place of investiture of knights and poets (Dante was also baptized here).

You will see the Gates of Paradise, the main gate of the Baptistry. The Porta del Paradiso, in Italian, was created by Florentine goldsmith and sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti between 1425 and 1452 and installed in the eastern portal of the Baptistery.
The Gates have been praised by generations of artists and art historians for their compelling portrayal of scenes from the Old Testament.
Over time, the seventeen-foot-tall, three-ton bronze doors became an icon of Renaissance, one of the most famous works of art in the world.

• Campanile di Giotto - Giotto’s bell tower is the bell tower of Santa Maria del Fiore, the cathedral of Florence, and is located in Piazza del Duomo.
• Loggia del Bigallo - The “Loggia del Bigallo,” a late Gothic structure associated with fraternities involved in community service, and the “misericordia,” the world’s oldest brotherhood for medical care and the oldest continuously operating private voluntary organization, will also be discussed by your knowledgeable guide.

The building is one of the most singular and important in the city, both for the history it documents and for its structure and decoration, in which sculpture, painting and ironwork combine with equal dignity to determine a work with a unitary character.

• Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore - The metropolitan cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, commonly known as the cathedral of Florence, is the main Florentine church, symbol of the city and one of the most famous in Italy; when it was completed, in the 15th century, it was the largest church in the world, and can still boast the absolute primacy of the largest masonry dome today. It stands on the foundations of the ancient cathedral of Florence, the church of Santa Reparata, in the place that has hosted buildings of worship since Roman times.
