The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is the symbol of Florence. It is the tallest building in Florence and the fourth largest Catholic church in the world. It is not only a grand scale, but more importantly it is a representative building in the early Renaissance. It belongs to the kind of person who sees "wow" at first sight, not because of how tall it is, but because of the structure and color of the building itself, white granite and pink granite walls, orange domes. . After entering the church, you can climb the dome from the small door next to it. Climbing the dome is a relatively difficult process. The walkway is very narrow and needs to turn many bends, but when you climb the top, you can suddenly open it. Overlooking the entire city of Florence. It can be seen that the urban pattern of Florence has not changed much since the Middle Ages. It is still a golden roof, gray or white walls and narrow streets, and bells of churches. The top of the church is not big, but the wind above it is not small, so pay attention to safety. directly opposite the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is its annex, the Battistero di San Giovanni. The octagonal building is best known for its Golden Gate. Although it is a Golden Gate, it is actually yellow. The copper material, which has been vivid for more than 600 years, Michelangelo praised it as the "gate of heaven." There are ten reliefs on the Golden Gate, all of which are biblical stories.
