Santa Maria del Fiore, known as the Duomo, stands as a proud symbol of Florence. Journey through its centuries of history with your audio guide, unraveling this architectural marvel and its innovative dome.
Florence Cathedral Complex
Surrounding the majestic cathedral is the Crypt of Santa Reparata, St. John’s Baptistery, Opera del Duomo Museum, and the looming Giotto’s Bell Tower!
Your Museum and Baptistery ticket remains valid for 72 hours after your chosen date. At the Opera del Duomo Museum, explore over 750 works spanning 720 years, featuring masterpieces from renowned artists like Arnolfo, Donatello, Ghiberti, and Michelangelo.
Next, visit the Baptistery of San Giovanni, one of Florence's oldest churches, located directly across from the cathedral. Its eight-segment dome rests gracefully on the walls, but it’s the three sets of bronze doors adorned with relief sculptures that steal the show—Michelangelo famously called the east doors the Gates of Paradise.
Giotto’s Bell Tower
If you opt for a ticket that includes Giotto's Bell Tower, prepare for a climb of over 400 steps! The effort is rewarded with breathtaking panoramas of Florence. This Campanile is a quintessential example of 13th-century Florentine Gothic architecture, crafted by Giotto, a leading artist of the era.
Brunelleschi’s Dome
Designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, an untrained architect, the dome emerged victorious from a competitive bidding process. After much debate and uncertainty, his groundbreaking double-shell design was embraced, resulting in a stunning structure resilient against lightning, earthquakes, and time. The right ticket option lets you climb it and observe the murals lining the inside!
