by travelmad478 This church, the Santa Maria Novella, is one of the many splendors of Florence's religious architecture. It was built over more than a century, ending in 1360--interestingly, the lower and upper parts of the façade were designed and built in different periods. There are many more spectacular churches and cathedrals all over Florence--and don't stop at the door! Inside, you'll find equally wonderful paintings, sculpture, frescoes, and decorative art.

by chrissyalex Ponte Vecchio .Built in 1345,it is the oldest bridge(ponte) in Florence. It was the only bridge in Florence not to be blown up in World WarII. Originally...the workshops on the bridge were occupied by butchers and black smiths. They used to dump their garbage in the Arno River and they were evicted in 1593 because of this. Now ....most of the shops are jewelery stores specializing in 18K gold. Leave a Comment

by espadana The Cathedral (Duomo). Quite impressive, this one. Quite unusual, also, I found the external architecture was differente from what I was used to see in other cathedrals. Don't forget to climb and admire the beautiful view from above! Leave a Comment

 Il Duomo di Firenze! by Laura_Mexico Visit the Cathedral, the so called Santa Maria dei Fiori church, also known as the Duomo, which has some very cool and artistic colored windows and a modest but beautiful decoration inside. The building itself is very impressive. Leave a Comment

by Barbara2 Out the door and just to the left of our hotel is the Piazza del Duomo with the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiori (Duomo 1296-1436), the Campanile di Giotto (Giotto's Tower c. 14th century) and the Battistero di San Giovanni (the Baptistry). This is the front facade of the Duomo.

 Campanile by Igraine It was awfully cold, windy and rainy. All this didn't stop me from enjoying the sights. Climbing the Duomo, standing on top and looking around the entire city and it surroundings was a great thing to do. Climbing up is hard work but amazing, first you get till the rim of the big dome, after going up some very very windy stairs. Next you go to the other side of the dome, sadly enough not being able to make pictures due to the plastic screen. Then you go between the dome inner and outer wall up to the top. So you walk a bit lopsided. But the view is so rewarding!

by Patricialuv This is the Campanille di Giotto, right next to the Duomo. It looks big and tall in this picture..and it really is!

Its been so long since I've been to Italy so I don't remember all the specifics of where to go, but I do remember that Florence was my favorite place in Italy. Maybe it was becuase the history and the beautiful buildings.
