Show on map
This is one of the most important religious buildings in the world, and not only because of its size. It was built over the remains of an early-Christian basilica, and work was begun by Arnolfo di Cambio at the end of the thirteenth century. The immense dome, a true feat of engineering by Filippo Brunelleschi was completed in 1436. Inside the Cathedral are masterpieces by Andrea del Castagno, Paolo Uccello, Luca della Robbia, Michelozzo, Vasari and Zuccari, as well as extraordinary fifteenth century stained glass windows by the major artists of the era. The façade was added in the nineteenth century. Giotto's famous bell tower soars skyward alongside of the Cathedral
