Florence
One of the most beautiful cities in the world, with an unparalleled artistic heritage. The historic center offers some extraordinary monuments such as the Duomo, known as Santa Maria del Fiore, with the famous Brunelleschi's dome, the largest masonry dome ever built in the world. Every part of this religious building is a work of art, and the church can be considered an "open-air museum". In front of the Duomo stands the Battistero di San Giovanni, the oldest church in Florence (today the “minor Basilica”), with three extraordinary doors: The South Gate, the oldest, built between 1330 and 1336 by the sculptor Andrea Pisano; the North Door, with panels showing events from the New Testament, the Evangelists and the Fathers of the Church; the third gate, Michelangelo called it the Gate of Paradise, a great masterpiece by the goldsmith and sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti and his famous collaborators.
