Featuring a façade of white, green, and pink marble, the cathedral is famous for its grand size and intricate decorative details. Giotto’s Campanile, adjacent to the church, and the Baptistery of St. John, with Lorenzo Ghiberti’s famous Gates of Paradise, complete this magnificent complex.

The interior, more subdued compared to the exterior, houses artworks by artists such as Paolo Uccello and Donatello. The dome, adorned with the renowned frescoes of the Last Judgment by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari, dominates Florence’s skyline and remains one of the world’s most admired architectural wonders.
