Santa Maria del Fiore, The Duomo (Cathedral) of Florence

The Duomo of FlorenceThe most notable building in the skyline, the Duomo has the largest brick and mortar dome in the world and is a popular spot to climb (463 steps) for a breathtaking view of the city. We suggest you get there early to avoid the very long lines that build up during the day.
