This will be a day dedicated to breathtaking photography opportunities, a small hobby of mine. The huge Gothic duomo or cathedral was begun in 1296, consecrated in 1436, and holds 20,000 people. It is considered one of the most popular tourist destinations in all of Florence. I will purchase a ticket and climb the 463 steps to the top. Also nearby is the Bell Tower offering spectacular panoramic view of Florence for a 414 stair climb.
The Baptistery of John the Baptist, from the 11th century, is one of Florence's oldest buildings. The outer portions are made of green and white marble and have three sets of stunning bronze doors. Inside, there are mosaics and a marble pavement of the zodiac, offering ample opportunity to practice my photography abilities.
