Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (Il Duomo) - Firenze

Filippo Brunelleschi's brains and Cosimo de' Medici's money helped complete the near-impossible task of building the basilica dome (finished in 1436). Even to this day, it remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.

Ended up blowing out the highlights while compensating for the backlighting. Oh well. Win some, lose some.
