The outside of this church is extremely impressive, the sculptures and paintings are magnificent. It is free to go inside, with a small cost to see the old relics from ancient times which are downstairs.

Yes another Italian church with amazing history. Give yourself about 30 minutes and move on. You can get the audio guide if you wish for 3 euro, but download a guide and do it yourself.

The lines during the summer are long and there's a reason why: this duomo is amazing. I actually climbed up to the top of the duomo and the view was breathtaking.

We attended mass, such a small group. Why do people not do this? It is closed to tourist during hours when there is mass so you get to feel the true serenity of the Cathedral. I went at a very difficult time and will always remember lighting a candle for my Mom.

At first sight the Duomo was quite breathtaking. The magnificent structure in white, green and red marble towers above together with its impressive Campanile. It would have been amazing to climb up inside the dome to get a closer look at Vasari's Fresco but it's not for the feint hearted with it's 463 steps. Go early to miss the long... More
