The Duomo in Florence

is a ginormous building. So big, you cant take it all into one single photo. It was built in the 1300's and is still the tallest building in Florence. The dome itself was built without scaffolding. There are 463 steps to the top for the best view of Florence - we didnt do that!
The Campanle is cladded in pink, green and white marble from Tuscany. Its very beautiful and was completed in 1359. Its in amazingly good nick!
