What are some of the main attractions in Florence?

Attractions - Duomo

The Duomo, located north of the Signoria on Piazza del Duomo is one of the most famous landmarks of Florence. The immense dome was one of the greatest engineering feats of its day, taking almost 150 years to complete. The Duomo was built between the late thirteenth and mid-fifteenth centuries to an ambitious design, originally the brainchild of Arnolfo di Cambio and realized finally by Filippo Brunelleschi, who completed the majestic dome – the fourth largest church in the world! The Duomo symbolizes Florence at its greatest.
