Description
Florence's centre of religion and spirituality is the Piazza del Duomo. It is worth taking the time to explore and comprehend its remarkable architecture and rich history, which your guide will bring to life by sharing fascinating anecdotes, facts, and tales of the customs that were practiced here. Over the years, Florence's artistic growth has been shaped mostly by religion, which has contributed to the extraordinary and distinctive legacy of the city that we may now explore. Indeed, religion has not only served as a source of inspiration for the subject matter but has also served as a central theme for numerous painters, like Donatello, Giotto, Masaccio, Michelangelo, and Botticelli, who have been able to convey a timeless message via their works of art. We will take you on a tour of the city's ecclesiastical centre, the Piazza Duomo, and consequently, a tour of its past. We'll discover the history of the baptistery, the Santa Reparata Cathedral—whose remnants may still be seen beneath the Duomo—the present Cathedral and its stunning exterior, and the numerous sculptures on Giotto's bell tower. Your knowledgable guide will make you discover the 'Loggia del Bigallo,' a late Gothic structure associated with fraternities involved in community service, and the 'misericordia,' the world's oldest brotherhood for medical care and the oldest continuously operating private voluntary organisation. After that, the fascinating tour intensifies as you climb Brunelleschi's Dome, the city's emblem and the largest of its kind in the world (with skip-the line Florence Duomo tickets). The inside of the dome is covered in 3600 square metres of frescoes, making it the biggest painted surface in the entire globe. You will get a close-up look at these frescoes as your guide explains and fascinatingly comments on them, bringing them to life right before your eyes. From a height, you will be able to enjoy an amazing perspective of the interior of the dome. As you ascend the last section and walk through the two shells to observe the brickwork up close, you will be better able to appreciate the ingenuity that went into the construction. The fact that it was constructed without the use of scaffolding will become very clear as you climb! When you reach the summit, the breathtaking view of the city below is an ultimate reward for all of your hard work; you will never forget how you see this incredible metropolis. It truly is an incredible opportunity that you cannot afford to pass up! The tour includes the following landmarks: Piazza del Duomo The Baptistery of St John from the outside Baptistery doors (Gates of Paradise) Giotto’s Bell Tower Loggia del Bigallo Florence Duomo (Santa Maria del Fiore) Brunelleschi's Dome climbIncludes
