A Renaissance Skyscraper

My jaw hit the flaw when I saw the size of this cathedral. I had no idea it was even possible to build buildings of this size before the modern age. Stunning.

The view up there is gorgeous but get ready to climb 463 steps. Sure it’s a good workout but it’s very tiring

The first time I went to this place

I took my now wife on our first holiday together to Florence and we climbed to the top of the Duomo. It has to be one of the most remarkable pieces of Italian architecture and a must for anyone visitng Florence.

what a surprise...

Before entering the cathedral, i hadn´t seen any picture of its interior… we peeped through the side door and it seemed that there are only white walls and nothing interesting inside… the entrance fee was for students quite high, so we had decided not to enter (what a lost it could have been!). On Sunday, there was free entrance and we got in… when I saw that ceiling, I could only hold my breathe and stay without a word…the painting is so huge and amazing! I´ve never seen anything like this.. standing i the cathedral I had a feeling, that i´m really only a small drop in compare to the rest of the world..
