Step into the symbolic heart of Florence on a guided exploration of the Duomo and the monumental square that surrounds it. Inside the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, your expert guide reveals how medieval Florence set out to build a church unlike any the world had seen – vast, audacious, and crowned by an engineering challenge that seemed impossible to solve. Beneath the soaring interior, learn how Filippo Brunelleschi’s revolutionary dome transformed architecture forever, while Giorgio Vasari’s dramatic Last Judgement fresco fills the interior with movement, colour, and theological drama extending upwards into the empyrean. Outside, Piazza del Duomo unfolds as an open-air museum of Florentine ambition. As you move through the square, your guide places the cathedral within its wider artistic and civic context, unpacking how faith, politics, and rivalry drove the city towards ever greater feats.
