Florence Cathedral: where art meets spirituality
Guided tour of the city's iconic church
The bridges over the Arno, the rolling hills in the distance, the Cathedral and the Baptistery, Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio. In Florence, there is always something beautiful to discover, and the iconic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is no exception. Visit the Cathedral alongside an experienced guide to really understand its majesty and the treasures that lie within. Admire the three naves and the marble choir enclosure by Bandinelli, set apart by its unusual octagonal shape. Feast your eyes on the stained-glass windows by Donatello and the clock built by Paolo Uccello, which still works to this day. Then take in the imposing Brunelleschi dome, which dominates the building, entirely frescoed by Vasari. Finally, visit the Misericordia Museum, located next to the Cathedral, with works by Santi di Tito and Benedetto da Maiano. From here, you can climb to the exclusive terrace and appreciate the breathtaking views of the Piazza del Duomo, its monuments and the rooftops of the city. A simply unforgettable tour for true art connoisseurs.
