your experience
The Duomo square offers a stunning view, especially at the end of the day when the sun's rays illuminate the polychrome marble of the buildings that form the religious complex. In fact, the chromatic homogeneity (green, white and red) beautifully harmonizes a stylistic variety. The differences in style can be understood by viewing the construction work that’s been in motion for about four centuries now. From the middle of the 11th century – when the work on the Baptistery started – until the middle of the 15th century when the dome of the Duomo was completed by Filippo Brunelleschi, its imposing size dominates the entire square.
Following a chronological order, your visit to the religious centre of Florence starts with the Baptistery. With your licensed guide, you’ll have the opportunity to admire the stunning interior Byzantine mosaics of the vault while viewing the exteriors of the masterpiece by Lorenzo Ghiberti – the east door of the Baptistery commonly called 'the Gate of Paradise'. The final part of the tour will take you to the Museum of Opera del Duomo where you’ll be able to appreciate up-close the incredibly artistic work of the religious complex including ‘La Pietà’ by Michelangelo amongst many others.
