Facade of the Duomo

This church took my breath away! First of all I had no idea that it was this big, and secondly I didn't know how colorful it was! There are many many colors of this duomo. The outside is created with many different colors and types of marble. The design and layout are breathtaking. Take a look for yourself!

Duomo and tower

You can mount the tower and dome for a price. However, the lines are hours and hours long in the summer so I'd suggest taking a free look from the heights of the Piazalle MichelAngelo. You can see the beautiful pics I got from that site and they were free and I didn't have to wait in line for hours!!
