The title of this post was a quote from our tour guide today. We were lucky enough to be invited to go on a tour of the Duomo with the HUF students. It was very interesting to learn so many amazing facts about it. Afterwards, Chad and I had our first test of finding our way back to the Bible School from downtown Florence on our own!
This is the front of the Duomo. It is made of all local white, green, and pink marble.
Inside the Duomo. The horizontal lines around the perimeter are actually balconies that are used to walk/climb the 473 steps all the way to the top of the dome.
