Today we toured Florence the center of the Renaissance. De Vince, Michelangelo, Dante, The Medici Family and many more were all from Florence.
In the center of Florence stands the magnificant Chruch of Santa Maria Del Flore or the Duomo for short. This church took a 140 years to complete and is the 3rd Longest just behind 2nd St. Pauls in London and St Peter's in Rome. The Outside facade is made of White, Red and Green Marble. The colors stand for Charity, Faith, and Hope. It is more fancy on the outside than on the inside. Standing next to it is the Baptistry with copies of the gold covered bronze doors ( the originals are in the Duomo Muesuem).
Inside are some very beauitful Stained Glass Windows but that is about all. You can climb about a million stairs and go to the very top of the outside of the dome. Not something this chick would do in any lifetime. Well our internet is almost out. Blog you soon.
