The Duomo Complex Private Tour

The Duomo Square offers a breathtaking view, especially at sunset, when the sun's rays "light up" the polychrome marble of the buildings that form the religious complex of the city. The chromatic homogeneity (green, white, and red) beautifully harmonizes a stylistic variety.

The stylistic differences can be explained by the fact that the construction works went on for about four centuries. The Baptistery began to be built in the middle of the 11th century, while the Dome was completed by Filippo Brunelleschi in the middle of the 15th century. The Dome, with its imposing size, dominates the whole square.

Following a chronological order, the visit to the religious center of Florence starts with the Baptistery. With our Certified Guide you will have the opportunity to admire, the stunning Byzantine mosaics of the vault and, on the outside, the masterpiece by Lorenzo Ghiberti, the east door of the Baptistery, commonly called "the Gates of Paradise".

Next, the tour will take us to the museum of "Opera del Duomo" where you will admire up close works of high value from the artistic heritage of the religious complex.

Finally, you will visit the iconic Cathedral, known all around the world for its beauty and uniqueness.
