Absolutely stunning.

Isn't the tower a new addition from the late 19th century?

No, this tower is pure gothic.

this cathedral is fantastic!

Chi ha messo 3 or less ???????

3 or less ?????????????

chi cazzo e' stato?

ragazzi del forum all' ascolto mi son messo massicciamente a votare per le opere italiane!!spero che serva per la causa!!!

Giotto, Pisano, Ghiberti and the other masters.

What can I say more?

http://gallery.euroweb.hu/art/g/ghiberti/paradiso/1porta.jpg

This is the masterpiece of Ghiberti, who worked on it for 27 years, lavishing on it all the richness of his imagination, combined with a fine sense of composition and profound knowledge of the modeller's art. Michelangelo defined the door as fit to be the "gate of Paradise".

The door, a universally admired masterpiece, has ten panels depicting Biblical scenes. At the centre of the door at left is the self-portrait of Ghiberti. The door's original gilding has recently been recovered from beneath the patina formed over the centuries. It was badly damaged by Florence's flood in 1966 when the waters of the Arno reached a height of more than 180 cm. After restoration it was moved to the museum of the Cathedral and substituted by a copy.

10/10

A marvellous facace, and it floats serenely above the city. But:

- it is not very three dimensional, so it isn't all that rewarding to look at from every angle, as the greatest cathedrals are.
- the interior is quite dull apart from the decoration of the dome.
- it bugs me that the exterior of the dome looks unfinished.

So 8/10. I doubt that this would be regarded as one of the greatest cathedrals in Europe if it wasn't in one of the greatest artistic centres.

The dome... 9... the rest... :2cents:

A great skyscraper of its day!

10/10 simply gorgeous

a masterpiece which had strongly influenced the modern architecture..


10 with laude

10/10

I give it 9/10 for its beautiful campanile and nice cladding. Im not a fan of the interior: like many Italian Cathedrals I find it scaleless and underwhelming...

10/10 from me...

10/10. I love it.

I visited this Cathedral a few years ago, the 'skyscraper' is very impressive, as is the huge floorspace inside.

voted 8.5/10 nice tower architecture.

8,5/10, exterior looks absolutely impressive, when I have seen it for the first time I was like "wow, wow and once again wow", however after getting inside I felt disgruntled expecting much more than I have finally seen...

Can somebody give info about this building, I'm going to Florence to study arts for a month and I'd like some info :cheers: Thanks!!!
