Florence, Italy: Famous Dome and Bronze Doors - Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide - Travel Bite

Florence's landmark Duomo (cathedral) is crowned by Brunelleschi's majestic dome — the first Renaissance dome and the model for many domes to follow (climb it for a glorious view). Nearby the Baptistery features Ghiberti's magnificent bronze doors, which Michelangelo called the "gates of paradise." These creations help define the Renaissance, when Florence blossomed and classical arts were reborn. #ricksteveseurope #ricksteves #florence
