Dedicated to Santa Maria del Fiore, the Duomo is the most important landmark in Florence. It is located in the center of the city which illustrates the importance of religion in Florentine culture. It is appreciated for not only its architecture and beauty, but also its role as a place of worship. The cathedral is a typical Italian Gothic building engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The construction began in the late thirteenth century and was completed by the mid-fifteenth century. The view overlooking Florence from the top of the dome is breath taking and a must do if you are visiting in Florence!

Taken inside the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Entrance is free but the line to get in is usually very long and wraps around the outside of the Duomo!

The Duomo also has a museum where monuments are kept to help preserve them. Be sure to check it out too!

Florence was climbing up 412 stairs up the tower of the Duomo, for the sake of taking beautiful pictures.

One of the top things to do in Florence is climb to the top of the Duomo! The views of the city are beautiful once you reach the top.

You should absolutely spend time enjoying the exterior of the Duomo, it is dreamily beautiful. I enjoyed looking at it many times a day. It is especially beautiful around sunset when it is illuminated against a deep blue sky.
