Climb the 463-step staircase of the Florence Cathedral Dome, following the same path used by Filippo Brunelleschi during the Renaissance. As you navigate narrow passages and historic stairways, feel transported back in time while marveling at the architectural genius that created this iconic masterpiece. Reaching the top offers an unforgettable panoramic view of Florence, allowing you to appreciate the city from a breathtaking perspective.
Discover the innovative techniques Brunelleschi used to construct the Dome, and explore the tools preserved in the Museum of Opera del Duomo.
