Il Duomo di Firenze

Aside from David, il Duomo is probably the most popular sight in all of Florence, and for good reason.

We managed to be in Florence the one day a year that the fabulous Duomo is not open. Can you believe that? I would have loved to go back inside and marvel at the architectural beauty once more. However, having seen it once before, I didn't let it upset my time there. Besides, as these photographs show, the Duomo is just as beautiful on the outside as on the inside!
