What To Expect

Piazza del Duomo

Piazza del Duomo is located in the heart of the historic center of Florence. It is dominated by the mass of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and related buildings such as Giotto's bell tower and the baptistery of San Giovanni.

The baptistery of San Giovanni Battista is a famous religious building in Florence, located in the Piazza San Giovanni of the same name, in front of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Dedicated to the patron saint of the city, it was for centuries the place where Florentines obtained baptism and was the place of investiture of knights and poets (Dante was also baptized here). You will see the Gates of Paradise, the main gate of the Baptistry. The Porta del Paradiso, in Italian, was created by Florentine goldsmith and sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti between 1425 and 1452 and installed in the eastern portal of the Baptistery. The Gates have been praised by generations of artists and art historians for their compelling portrayal of scenes from the Old Testament. Over time, the seventeen-foot-tall, three-ton bronze doors became an icon of Renaissance, one of the most famous works of art in the world.
