The first stop on Frances' tour of Italy is the cathedral in Florence.
Florence Cathedral, formally the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, was built in Gothic style in 1296 to a design by Arnolfo di Cambio and was completed in 1436, with a dome by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is lined with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink, bordered with white. The cathedral complex, in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistry and Giotto's Campanile. These three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site encompassing the historic center of Florence and are a major tourist attraction of Tuscany. The basilica is one of the largest churches in Italy, and until the development of new construction materials in modern times, the dome was the largest in the world. It is still the largest brick dome ever built.
