Activity description
Once inside the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, a treasure trove of priceless artistic treasures, you'll be immediately struck by the elegance of the three naves. Led by your expert guide, you'll admire the beauty of Bandinelli's splendid marble choir, the complex of precious stained-glass windows by Donatello, Ghiberti, and Andrea del Castagno, and the unique and mysterious clock by Paolo Uccello. You'll also be amazed to walk on a marvelous carpet of polychrome marble. Then, looking up, you'll see the immense and precious interior of the Dome, entirely frescoed by Vasari, the largest fresco in the world. Brunelleschi's famous Dome is the largest ever built in masonry and an incomparable icon of Renaissance architecture.
In Piazza del Duomo, next to the Cathedral, you also have the chance to visit the precious Museo della Misericordia and the great opportunity, on the 4th floor of the Museum, to enjoy an incredible view of Cathedral Square and its monuments, taking beautiful photos. From there, it seems you could even touch every monument!
The Museum is a magical place off the beaten path, where you can admire works by Santi di Tito, Benedetto da Maiano, Sano di Pietro, Bachiacca, Sogliani, G. Battista Naldini and many other important artists.
