Just outside of the main entrance sits the Duomo's Baptistry. Lorenzo Ghiberti's famous bronze Baptistry doors were commissioned in 1401 to mark the city's deliverance from the plague. Jake is next to one of the panels depicting the Fall of Jericho. They are so detailed - these are copies though - as the original doors have been put in a museum for their safekeeping.
