Adventure #124

Hello everyone. I am continuing with Matty and Elsie's adventures in Florence. After Santa Croce we went to Florence's Duomo. One of my absolute favorite buildings.




On a previous trip, Matt and I climbed the steps of the Campanile or tower next to the Duomo. So this time we paid to climb the steps of the dome. The next picture is of the walkway around the dome.


This picture is of the frescoes called, The Last Judgment, painted inside the dome.


A view of the church.


The steep steps up the inside of the dome.



Views of the city.




After the Duomo we visited Basilica San Lorenzo and Santa Maria Novella. We also walked through the flea market for a little shopping. We ate dinner at a place called Le Straioni. Matt and I shared prosciutto, four cheese pasta, and a pizza, of course.
