The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is known as the Duomo in Florence, Italy.
The basilica is noted for it's huge dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi and its colorful marble exterior. Construction was started in 1296 by Cardinal Valeriana and would last last 170 years.
The Duomo has a great impact on the skyline of Florence. At times it lurks like a giant in the background. Some of the best views of the Duomo can be caught glancing down a side street.
While in Florence be sure to climb the Duomo- from the top you can take in some spectacular views of Florence!
