The true heart of Florence, it is inevitable not to pass by this colourful landmark and sign of Florence's cultural supremacy in 14th and 15th century Italy.
At the end of the Middle Ages, Florence was one of the city states. It wanted to show it by building a cathedral that would put all other cathedrals in its shadow, literally. In 1296, the first stone was laid for what would become Florence's star, so big that 'it put all Tuscans in its shadow' according to a contemporary. He wrote this when the famous architect Brunelleschi finished the enormous dome of the cathedral, together with the belltower the main eyecatcher of the building. The dome was finished only in the 15th century and is, in fact, not completely in the Gothic style of the rest of the cathedral.
