This guided tour covers the main buildings of the Duomo Complex in the heart of Florence's historic center: the Duomo (Santa Maria del Fiore), the Baptistery of San Giovanni and the Opera del Duomo Museum. A licensed local guide leads the visit and shares anecdotes about how the cathedral was created and the history behind it. An audio system lets you hear the guide clearly.
The Duomo, Santa Maria del Fiore, was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio. The Duomo Museum holds works by Arnolfo, Ghiberti, Donatello, Luca della Robbia, Antonio Pollaiolo, Verrocchio and Michelangelo. It has the largest concentration of Florentine monumental sculpture in the world, including medieval and Renaissance statues and reliefs in marble, bronze and silver.
The tour also visits the Baptistery of San Giovanni, one of the oldest churches in Florence.
