The dome of Brunelleschi and Giotto's bell tower already alone would be enough to describe the majesty of this church, the third largest in the world, designed by Arnolfo di Cambio. It's beautiful and unique marble façade contrasts with the interior, which amaze the vastness of space and the simplicity of the furnishings.
