Summary

[edit]
Description

Also referred to online as the 'Duomo Cupola' or the plain ol' 'top of the Duomo.' 'Duomo' means 'cathedral' in Italian. Feel free to sneak a peek at the fourth shot in this photo set, to see how the Duomo looks from afar.

Florence completed the cupola in 1434, more than a half-century before Columbus reached the Americas. (It's called the Old World for a reason.) You too can climb to the tippy-top, if:

  • You make a timed reservation for the climb. My 72 EUR Firenzecard -- www.firenzecard.it/?lang=en -- bagged red carpet, no line / no wait admission elsewhere in Florence, but not here.
  • You are prepared to climb 463 steps through often ridiculously narrow corridors. A fellow California expat tells more at:

Camera toters may also pant their way to the peak of Giotto's bell tower at center right, but shall be disappointed to there discover grating that foils productive use of a full-size dSLR lens. Shucks.
