Unlocking the 'Dante Code' of Florence - Santa Maria del Fiore

Florence in Xu Zhimo's pen, the heat of love; Florence in 'The Da Vinci Code', full of suspense. Which one is you, pack your bags, let's explore it ourselves~ Santa Maria del Fiore is a legendary building. The church was founded in 1296 and consecrated in 1436. Its most eye-catching orange dome, the exterior is made of white, green, and pink marble, and there are many statues, soft and harmonious, without the oppression of Gothic. It also witnessed the glory of the Renaissance. You can see the whole view of Florence from Michelangelo Square (Picture 1 above), and you can overlook the dome at close range from the bell tower (Picture 1 below). In front of the church is a golden door, the door of heaven, with reliefs of stories from the Old Testament of the Bible, the original works are preserved in the museum. (Picture 6) It's a pity that I didn't go to the museum. Florence, Italy, I will come again, meet you again along Dan Brown's route. 📝Note tips: Try to buy tickets online; pay attention to the valuables you carry.
