What makes Firenze: Brunelleschi’s Dome Reserved Timed Ticket & Audio App a unique experience ?

For centuries, the massive dome that sits atop the Florence Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore was considered an architectural impossibility by most experts in the field. How could it be built? How would it stand up to its own weight? And how would they put a dome of such size on top of the cathedral’s existing structure? But in 1420, Filippo Brunelleschi finally pulled off what was thought to be impossible when he finished his construction masterpiece, which continues to stand today as one of the most iconic structures in all of Italy and even all of Europe.

From up there you can see all Florence with its wonders in a majestic panorama, it is really one of those unforgettable experiences! The first view from up there is just spectacular – we would say that everything you have ever seen from within Florence so far looks completely different from there!
