Florence & Siena. P4 easter trip

We were in Florence for 3 days. Like all the other cities we had been to in Italy, we had tours in the morning and then free time in the afternoon.

^^ The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore . The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches.





^^The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore agian, until the modern era, the dome was one of the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.







^^ one of the museums i went to in florence. The detail in these where AMAZING.
take the photo below for example.



^^ this is at the same museum, however i cannot remember the name. If you can see the image, the roof detail in this stairway is amazingly beautiful.







^^ the statue of david. You are not aloud to take photos in this building, however i thought you need to see this. All throughout the walk we could hear the italian women screaming "NO PHOTO" but i think it was worth it.
