The Duomo

Here's an unusual take on this iconic building :-) hehe!

 

The Cathedral of Florence, officially known as Cattedrale Santa Maria del Fiore but better known as the Duomo, was originally planned in 1296 as a Gothic cathedral by Arnolfo di Cambio. It replaced the church of Santa Reparata, a cathedral church with a history going back to the early Middle Ages. Construction of the church would last until 1436 when it was consecrated by pope Eugene IV.
