The Cathedral of Florence and the Baptistery.
The Cathedral of Florence, called Santa Maria del Fiore, is certainly one of the most beautiful architectural works in the world.
The colors and grandeur (it is the third largest church in the world) make it one of the most famous monuments in Italy.
The polychrome marble facade, the Giotto tower and the Baptistery of San Giovanni... all together they are a spectacle.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, commonly known as the Florence Cathedral, is the main church of Florence, the symbol of the city and one of the most famous in Italy; when it was completed in the fifteenth century, it was the largest church in the world, while today it is considered the third in Europe after St. Peter's in Rome and the Milan Cathedral. It stands on the foundations of the ancient cathedral of Florence, the church of Santa Reparata, in a part of the city that has hosted places of worship since Roman times.
