8The Duomo in Florence

The Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, in English “Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flowers”) is the main church of Florence, Italy.

Duomo di Firenze, as it is ordinarily called, was begun in 1296. After seeing the Duomo from all sides and visiting the inside of the cathedral, all you need to do to complete the experience is climb to the top of the cupola!
