It consists of two interconnected ogival carapaces, the octagonal dome of the cathedral was erected between 1418 and 1434 based on a design by Filippo Brunelleschi.

The Baptistery:

The Baptistery of San Giovanni, one of the oldest churches in Florence. This fascinating structure, which combines faith, history and art, researchers till have doubt its dating.

In the Middle Ages, the inhabitants of Florence thought that the Baptistery was an old building dating back to Roman times.

In fact; Much of the marble cover of the Baptistery comes from the ruins of the Roman Florentia, most likely a pagan temple. You can see many fragments, ancient inscriptions, trapping columns or horizontal lintels on the interior doors.

The bell tower of Giotto is one of the four main monuments of the Piazza del Duomo. The most eloquent example of the Gothic architecture of the fourteenth century in Florence.
