Days 6, 7 Romanico Hotel, Rome

On some dates alternate hotels may be used.

Experience It! Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

Standing tall among many architectural wonders of Florence towers the imposing

Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, also known as the "Duomo," the third largest

cathedral in the world. The exterior is a colorful mix of pink, white and green

marble; important artwork, statues and intricate stained glass adorn the interior.

This famous landmark, designed by Arnolfo di Cambio, began construction in

1296. In the 15th century, the cathedral’s world-renowned dome was added, a

creation of architect Filippo Brunelleshci. This architectural wonder was created

without using a centering support for the masonry. This is a feat that has not been

achieved by many, particularly with one of its size. It is still the biggest dome in

the world where this technique was used. It weighs an estimated 37,000 tons and

it’s said that a staggering four million bricks were used.
