Florence Cathedral Guided Tour

At the scheduled time, we'll meet in front of the Museo della Misericordia. From this point, we'll have priority access to the interior of the Florence Cathedral, recognized as a World Heritage Site. Once inside, we'll explore the origins of this cathedral, built in honor of Santa Maria del Fiore, the city's patron saint, beginning as a small church in the 7th century and evolving into one of the largest Cathedrals in the world.

The visit will cover the architectural secrets and artistic works within the cathedral. We'll examine Brunelleschi's impressive dome, discussing the techniques and materials used for its construction. Finally, we'll admire the remarkable fresco by Vasari and Zuccaro depicting the Last Judgement, noted as the largest surface decorated with this painting technique.

Misericordia Museum

This activity also includes a ticket for the Misericordia Museum, which you can visit in your own time after the Cathedral tour. The exhibition space houses a large collection of pieces related to Florentine history.
