The Florence Diomo. Harvey and I actually hiked to the very top of this dome. It was mainly a spiral staircase and then an area where we crawled between that was part of the dome and the interior part of the dome. It was 414 steps up and the same number down. That is quite amazing when you consider there are actually two domes, one on the inside and then the roof on the outside and you walk-crawl in between them.
Florence has a river through the middle and many bridges across the river but the water in Florence however is much dirtier.
Unbelievably big doors are everywhere in this town
... as are an incredible number of enormous statues at almost every turn.
Enormous cathedrals dominate several of the city Squares
No one in this town. Everything is brick or rock and many many hundreds of years old. It is quite amazing in Florence what good condition the buildings are in. Venice is located in almost a marshy like island. However Florence must have a good foundation because the many cathedrals statues and apartment blocks are in very good shape.
