Santa Maria del Fiore ("Duomo")

Piazza del Duomo, Florence, Italy
Tel: +39 055294514
 

As the city's skyline symbol, the legendary duomo is famous above all for its dome: Brunelleschi's Renaissance masterpiece, completed in 1436, created a double dome shell so that the dome is entirely self-supporting. Building started in 1296 on the site of the Roman basilica of Santa Reparata of which there are still visible remains. The existing neo-Gothic facade was added in the 19th century. Covering a massive 3600 square meters, the frescoes inside the dome depict the Last Judgement. Services: 7.30am, 9am, 10.30am, midday and 6pm Sunday.
