ABOUT DUOMO FLORENCE
Florence, the capital of the Tuscany region, is well known for its art and culture. In fact, Il Duomo Florence (like Italians call it) is home to the most precious works of art in the world. From Dante Before the City of Florence by Domenico di Michelino to Giorgio Vasari’s Last Judgment, remarkable frescoes are all around the Cathedral’s interior.
The Florence Cathedral stands out over the cathedral square for its magnificent Renaissance dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. Built-in the 13th century, a mix of white, pink and green marble covers the gothic style facade. Discover all the history on a Duomo Florence Tour! A licensed guide will take you around and to the top of the cupula, to admire the impressive city views from Duomo Florence.
Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
The Florence Cathedral or the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore is the main cathedral of Florence, Italy. Its Gothic style construction began in 1296 and was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. On the outside, the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of pink and green, and are bordered by white. It has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade designed by Emilio De Fabris.
Brunelleschi’s Dome
In 1418, there was a public competition announced and held by the Opera del Duomo. It was for the purpose of construction of the dome with a hefty prize of fame and 200 gold florins. Top architects flocked to Florence to present their ideas but ultimately the Opera del Duomo chose Filippo Brunelleschi to be the superintendent of the cupola project.
Crypt of Santa Reparata
The Crypt of Santa Reparata is a small crypt beneath a cathedral with tombs of notable figures and floors made of patterned mosaics. Being the former cathedral of Florence, Italy, Santa Reparata gets its name from an early virgin martyr who is the co-patron saint of Florence. The Florence Cathedral was actually constructed over it. Its construction was intended to celebrate the victory over Radagaisus on the day of S. Reparata. This happened during the reign of Emperor Honorius (395 – 423).
Baptistry of San Giovanni
The Baptistery of San Giovanni is one of the most important religious buildings in Florence. Dedicated to his patron saint, John the Baptist, it is a characteristic example of the Tuscan Romanesque style, dating all the way back to the 11th century. Although it was initially intended for the liturgical function of baptism, it also acted as the city’s Cathedral in the 11th century.
