From the Galleria we walked thru the maze of streets to the Duomo - Santa Maria del Fiore. This cathedral is Europe's fourth largest church. The exterior of it is richly decorated with white,green, and pink Tuscan marble and reliefs. Brunelleschi's dome, finished in 1463 was the largest of its time to be built without scaffolding. The Last Judgement frescoes (1574-1474) by Vasari are amazing to view -
