About

Florence’s Cathedral Complex: The Heart of Renaissance

Begin your journey at the renowned Piazza del Duomo, where your knowledgeable guide will greet you and the group. With your entry secured, you’ll step into one of the most celebrated centres of art and architecture in Italy.

Immersive Guided Tour of the Cathedral

The guided experience opens with Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence’s grand cathedral. Marvel at the intricate marble façade and iconic red dome that define the city skyline. Your guide will lead you through its spacious nave, highlighting the artistry that distinguishes every chapel and fresco, and revealing the building’s significance in Florence’s past and present.

Discover the Baptistery and Heavenly Mosaics

Next, visit the Baptistery of San Giovanni, famed for its striking marble and glittering golden mosaics. Learn how the Baptistery anchored religious life in Florence and admire the replica of Ghiberti’s Gates of Paradise. Your guide interprets both the theological and artistic messages reflected in every detail.

Opera del Duomo Museum Insights

Your tour continues inside the Opera del Duomo Museum, a treasure trove of original sculptures, frescoes, and architectural models. Here, you’ll see masterworks that once graced the Cathedral and Baptistery, gaining an understanding of the competition, creativity, and innovation that shaped Florence’s identity as a Renaissance hub.

Both climbs are self-guided, letting you pause and admire Brunelleschi’s brilliant engineering at your own pace.
