Brunelleschi's Dome Insights: A Fascinating Journey into History, Art and Architecture
An unbelievable guided tour to discover the greatest treasure of the cradle of the Renaissance: the majestic Duomo of Florence and its Dome.
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:#57646f;margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">Let’s start the journey by visiting<strong> Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral</strong>, the<strong> main church of Florence</strong> and one of the most important in Europe, the symbol of the city since the time it was built. Our<strong> expert local guide</strong> will show you the insides and will tell you all the secrets behind the construction of th<strong>e biggest masonry dome ever built in history</strong>.<br />But that’s not all! Our tour will grant you<strong> access to an exclusive area of the cathedral</strong>, just <strong>underneath Brunelleschi’s greatest work</strong>, so that you can admire it from an<strong> unusual perspective</strong>. Take a deep dive into the <strong>vivid colors of the Last Judgment </strong>and absorb all its little details. Travel with your mind back to the past, almost feeling the same inspiration that moved the<strong> geniuses of the Renaissance</strong> who designed and built such a masterpiece of art and engineering with the poor instruments available at their time.<br />Now brace yourselves because the best part is yet to come: say goodbye to your guide and prepare to <strong>climb 463 stairs to reach the top of the Dome</strong>. You will first reach a balcony, placed almost halfway, which is right at the base of the dome. While you walk your way to the other side of it, get a closer look at the biggest fresco of the world, painted by the great artists<strong> Giorgio Vasari </strong>and <strong>Federico Zuccari</strong>: watch the figures come alive right in front of your eyes and enjoy such an evocative and unforgettable moment.<br />It’s time to keep going up, there are now only some steps left before reaching the top of the Lantern. As you go outside, you will be struck by a <strong>360 degree view of the historic center of Florence</strong>, with <strong>Giotto’s Bell Tower </strong>and the<strong> peak of Palazzo Vecchio</strong> defining its<strong> iconic skyline</strong>. You will also have a unique perspective on the dome itself, which from just under your feet will descend to the ground, becoming one with the roof of the Cathedral.<br />Last but not least, at the end of our tour you get to keep the ticket: an <strong>all-inclusive pass that will grant you access to all the other monuments of the Duomo Complex for the following 72 hours</strong>.</p>
