The Duomo is Florence’s largest and most recognizable church. What the Colosseum is to Rome, the Duomo is to Florence. Located in the center of the city, the Dome of the church is a marvel (and at the time of construction, a miracle) of architecture. At once a work of extraordinary beauty and technical expertise, the mechanics of the dome become even more impressive to those hardy souls who brave the almost 500 stairs to the top, who are rewarded with a beautiful view of the entire city.
