Churches
Santa Maria del Fiore or Duomo di Firenze is the Cathedral of Florence with a famous towering cupola known as Brunelleschi’s Dome. This is the fourth biggest church in Europe, after San Pietro in Vaticano (Saint Peters) in Rome, Saint Pauls in London and the Cathedral of Milan (Duomo di Milano) in Milan.
The Battistero di San Giovanni has three sets of heavily ornamented doors, the most famous being the east doors by Lorenzo Ghiberti (Porta del Paradiso), (The Gates of Paradise).
