Florence is the capital of Italy’s Tuscany region, popularly known for masterpieces of Renaissance art, monuments, museums, art galleries (Uffizi Gallery and the Palazzo Pitti), and architecture. It is home to many iconic sights, such as the Duomo and a cathedral with a terracotta-tiled dome. Totally a treat to the eyes for visitors (when on vacation).
The Cathedral of Florence (Santa Maria del Fiore) is regarded as a scenic view in Italy, built between September 1296 and March 1436.
One of the aspects of Florence Cathedral that makes it popular is nothing but its dome. This masterpiece (adorned with orange tiles) was designed by Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi. Those who ascend the 460 steps of this magnificent structure are rewarded with breathtaking views of Florence.
Florence Cathedral is located in the heart of Florence, Italy, and is easily accessible via public transport, bus and train. The train station (Firenze Santa Maria Novella) is a 10-minute walking distance, while the bus services (14 & 23) halt at Pucci Duomo, a 3-minute walk away.
