Duomo is Florence's great cathedral in the center of Florence.
In 1296, Arnolfo laid the first stone but others added to it over the years.
The Cupola, was built in sixteen years, with a new engineering practice by Brunelleschi. This Cupola is now Florence's symbol. The frescos by Vasari were done for Cosimo I dei Medici from 1572- 1579 and cover a surface of 3600 square meters. They portray the Universal Judgement. The facade of the cathedral was only done between 1871 and 1884 by Emilio de Fabris

The clock inside was amazing. Roman numerals on a 24 hour scale.
