Thank you so much to Headout and to Fatima for the awesome experience. The guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable and generous in sharing information. I missed the tour previous day and surprisingly they called me and said I can come next day and do the tour ! It was a pleasant surprise and so glad I didn't miss the wonderful place and history behind it . What a memorable way to wrap up my trip to magnificent and magical Florence !

Enter the famous Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral and soak in the beauty of its 13th-century Gothic architecture.

Admire its iconic walls and artwork up-close as your expert guide tells you fascinating tales, anecdotes, and more. Try the audio guide app for further insights to Duomo Complex.

Watch out for Brunelleschi’s dome, and the enormous fresco under it painted by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari — The Last Judgement.

Fun fact: Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral features two domes. One on the outside and one on the inside, made of marble and sandstone with narrow stairs connecting the two.
