Fun in Florence

14th Century Florentines must have been very tall folk

This is the famous Brunelleshi's Dome. It is a dome within a dome, actually.









A replica of the Prometheus, we will return to Florence to see the real one, along with Michelangelo's David, in the Galleria Dell'Academia.



These are the gates of paradise. Perhaps Ghiberti wished he did not win the contest, it took 17 years to finish these bronze reliefs.
