Piazza del Duomo, Central square in Historic Centre, Italy

The square contains Florence Cathedral, Giotto's Bell Tower, and the Baptistery, forming an ensemble of medieval and Renaissance architecture in white, green, and pink marble.

Construction of the cathedral complex began in 1296 under Arnolfo di Cambio, requiring the demolition of multiple buildings to create this grand religious center.

The Museo dell'Opera del Duomo displays original artworks from the cathedral complex, including sculptures by Donatello and Michelangelo's final Pietà.

Visitors can purchase a combined ticket to access all monuments in the square, including climbing to the top of Brunelleschi's dome for city views.

The cathedral's dome, constructed by Filippo Brunelleschi between 1420 and 1436, remains the largest masonry dome in the world at 45.5 meters in diameter.
