A fascinating building site that lasted for over a millennium, the Duomo complex is the religious heart of the city, the center of its civic pride, the testimony of Florentine genius and the wealth of Florence in the Renaissance. Instrumentalized by politicians for centuries, managing the wealth poured into the building and embellishment of the Cathedral was as lucrative as managing hedge funds today. We discover how Brunelleschi built his famous dome, visit the interior of the Cathedral and the Baptistery, discuss the Bell Tower and other surrounding buildings, admire the original Gates of Paradise in the Museum of the Cathedral, as well as Michelangelo's statue of Pietà, the Byzantine mosaics of the Baptistery, the Altar of St. John the Baptist and several statues by Donatello. After the tour, you will be able to climb the Dome of Florence with skip-the-line access. On request, the guide will also organize a special private opening to walk the terraces of the Cathedral (please book well ahead).
- Cathedral of Florence, interior and exterior, terraces on request - Baptistery, interior and exterior. - Bell Tower exterior (interior on request). - Other monuments in the Cathedral square. - Museum of the Cathedral. This itinerary is flexible. I will be happy to customise the tour for you! Please wear clothes that cover you knees and shoulders: we will be entering a Catholic church! For those who wish to climb the dome of Florence Cathdreal, please book at least one month ahead, and note that these are 463 steps with no elevator on a narrow staircase (unsuitable if you suffer claustraphobia or vertigo).
