Among its most important pieces are Michelangelo's Bandini Pietà, an unfinished sculpture full of emotion, the original panels of Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, and works by Donatello, including his moving Mary Magdalene.
Complete Your Visit with the Dome and Campanile
If you'd like, you can round out your visit by adding the dome and campanile. Here's what each one offers:
Brunelleschi's Dome
The breathtaking Brunelleschi's Dome is one of the greatest architectural achievements of the Renaissance. After presenting your ticket, you can climb its 463 steps and admire the frescoes by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari depicting the Last Judgment along the way.
Once you reach the top, you'll be treated to spectacular views of Florence with its terracotta rooftops, historic churches, and the Arno River. Perfect photo opportunity!
Giotto's Campanile
At 84 meters (276 feet) tall, Giotto's Campanile is one of the most beautiful towers in Italy. Decorated with colorful marble and relief sculptures, the Florence Duomo's bell tower is one of the finest expressions of Florentine Gothic architecture, a work of art in itself!
Ready to climb its 414 steps? From the top of the tower, you'll discover another of the best views of the Tuscan capital, including a unique perspective of Brunelleschi's Dome.
