Horizontal wide angle of the side elevation and domed roof of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore or the Duomo on a sunny day


Horizontal wide angle of the side elevation and domed roof of the cathedral of Santa Maria 'the Duomo' against a bright blue sky, with street artists and local residents going about their daily business. It is one of the largest churches in the world and its name derives form the golden flower given by Pope Eugenio IV during the consecration ceremony. The basic style is Gothic with a strong Florentine influence characterised by large volumes, straight lines and geometrical decorations.
