Customer Reviews
One of the two unmistakable landmarks of Florence, the cathedral is utterly unique on the outside. You can’t help but stare and even gawk at it. There are typically lines to get in, but, unlike many attractions in Europe, this one is free! We enjoyed our tour of the inside even if it isn’t spectacular the outside – what could be? We didn’t brave the long climb up to the tower inasmuch as we don’t have the mobility to do so anymore. Simply put: you’re not going to go to Florence without seeing this.
The Cathedral of Florence, officially known as Santa Maria del Fiore, is one of the greatest masterpieces of Italian Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Begun in 1296 by Arnolfo di Cambio, it symbolizes the artistic ambition and civic pride of Florence. Its exterior is clad in polychrome marble—white, green, and pink—creating a striking visual harmony. The cathedral is crowned by Brunelleschi’s dome, completed in 1436, an extraordinary engineering achievement and the largest masonry dome in the world. Inside, the vast interior is sober and monumental, emphasizing scale and light rather than decoration. Notable artworks include the fresco of the Last Judgment inside the dome by Vasari and Zuccari, Paolo Uccello’s clock, and stained-glass windows by Renaissance masters. Together with Giotto’s Bell Tower and the Baptistery, the cathedral forms the spiritual and architectural heart of Florence.
We really enjoyed our tour. Leonardo was our guide, and explained us very well the history behind the cathedral. It was very clear and interesting. I would recommend this tour.
