| |  | Relais del Duomo is located at a few meters from the Duomo di Firenze, one of the world's great artistic values. | | Santa Maria Del Fiore | The Duomo di Firenze is also called Santa Maria del Fiore because the city symbol is a flower: the giglio. | The construction of this building, which is one of the biggest cathedrals in Italy, was started in year 1296, as a substitute of the ancient cathedral of Santa Reparata. The original project was made by Arnolfo di Cambio, sculpturer and architect. | After his death, the church's works slowed down, and they were reprised later with renewed vigor in 1334, with Giotto becoming capomastro. | | | Giotto's contribute was particularly concentrated on the bell tower, which is found by the main face of the Duomo. | | | From the Duomo's terrace a beautiful vista can be enjoyed. A suggestion we feel to give is that of going on the bell tower and reaching the terrace on the top. You will remain breathless! | | | Piazza del Duomo | | | Piazza del Duomo, Florence's heart, is full of beautiful shops, famous and prestigous Coffees, Restaurants.
