#summerbreak Fantastic view here just right across the most popular cathedral in the world. Florence gets extremely busy and full of tourist especially in summer time that you may only hear people speak in English due to the high volume of tourism. The whole tower it is secured upstairs, so pics can be taken but they will always have bar due to the high risk of falling. There are a lot of narrow steps to climb, so you may want to keep that in mind. Best time to go will be during the month of May, June or September, avoid July and August due to crowds and heat. Place to eat: Pochetta sandwiches is a must here! fresh delicious and daily specials are available 😃

Amazing building. Italy’s cathedrals never cease to impress me. Every time I go near it I am in awe of its beauty. I would recommend to buy a ticket to climb the tower. With the tower, you’ll still get the view of the Duomo, but perhaps without the day long queues. The morning time is much easier in terms of crowds than evening times. Even at midnight the crowd never stops. Definitely go here when you get the chance!#境外遊 #awesomepic

Florence is one of my absolute favorite cities. I took this picture at dawn in the wonderful Piazza del Duomo on a December morning.

☀️ Peaceful morning in Florence ☁️

If you want to avoid the crowds, come here early before 7 a.m. It’s really worthy! Trust me! ;) #hiddengems #cityview #florence #firenze #italy #italy_views #beautiful_italy #italygram #italytrip #cathedral #cathedral #morning #earlymorningvibes #อิตาลี #意大利

Romantic Florence City of Italy 🇮🇹

#europetrip 📍Florence, Italy Florence, or also known as Firenze, is the capital city of the Tuscany region in Italy. It offers one of the most stunning and amazing sight in Italy, home for Renaissance architectures and world class art! Getting lost in the city centre and romanticising Renaissance culture in Florence was romantic and dreamy! One of the must see place in Florence would be The Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore or also known as The Florence Duomo!

Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral

Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, as one of the five major cathedrals in the world, is located in the historical center of Florence, Italy. This magnificent architectural complex includes the cathedral, bell tower and baptistery, and was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. The cathedral is decorated with white, red, and green granite on its exterior, perfectly reflecting the Renaissance pursuit of classicism, elegance, and freedom. The original site was once the 4th-century Church of Saint Reparata, until 1296, when the new church was funded by Cosimo di Giovanni de' Medici of the Medici family, and the construction took 175 years to complete. The cathedral dome designed by Brunelleschi, modeled after the Pantheon in Rome, is a classic example of the combination of classical art and science at the time. Even the Pope praised it as a 'mythical creation', and a musician even composed a concerto for it. Michelangelo, when designing the St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, also imitated this dome and lamented that he could not surpass its beauty. It is worth noting that Brunelleschi did not use sketches and calculation data during the construction process, as if he had a complete concept in his mind. Brunelleschi rests in the basement of the church, and his statue stands in the church square, guiding people to appreciate the dome he is proud of. The interior of the church is equally breathtaking, with Vasari's dome painting 'The Last Judgment' and the mural 'Dante and The Divine Comedy' commemorating the 200th anniversary of Dante's birth, among other works. Visitors can climb the 463 steps on the north side to the dome for a view of the old city of Florence.

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

#wheretogo The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is an architectural masterpiece that leaves a profound impact with its stunning beauty. Its exterior appears almost like a three-dimensional painting, with intricate details and a design that reflects the true essence of Italian Renaissance architecture. During my visit, the sheer crowd prevented me from exploring the interior, but witnessing the Duomo from the outside was an experience in itself. The visual splendor of the cathedral's facade, with its intricate marble work and iconic dome, is awe-inspiring. The sheer scale and artistic brilliance of the Duomo are a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage. What made the experience even more enchanting was the contrast between the day and night views. While the daytime allowed for a detailed examination of the facade, the nighttime view transformed the Duomo into a different kind of spectacle. The subtle illumination highlighted the architectural elements and created an atmosphere of reverence and wonder. In summary, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is a must-see for anyone visiting Florence. Its exterior alone is a mesmerizing work of art that captures the essence of Italian Renaissance architecture.

Beautiful florence

Went to the duomo, also known as the florence cathedral to climb the bell tower for this impressive view of the entire historical centre. The climb was manageable with about 460+ steps with breaks in between. Totally worth the climb up and was rewarded with this magnificent view! We bought the giotto pass to gain access to this bell tower and remember to book the time slot for your ascend up to the viewpoint!
