Fall in love with one of the jewels of the Italian Renaissance with this fantastic guided tour of Florence Cathedral. You'll learn all about one of the country's most famous cathedrals as well as visit the Misericordia Museum.

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, protected as a World Heritage Site. Once inside, we'll explore the origin of this cathedral, raised in honour of Santa Maria del Fiore, patron saint of Florence. We will trace its beginnings as a small church in the 7th century to becoming one of the largest cathedrals in the world. We'll uncover secrets of the architecture and the artworks inside. Attention will be given to Brunelleschi's impressive dome, examining the techniques and materials used for its construction. Finally, we'll admire the details of the fresco by Vasari and Zuccaro depicting the Last Judgement, the largest surface decorated with this painting technique.

Misericordia Museum

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