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 Visit http://www.ricksteves.com for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe.
