View meeting point with Google Maps - Museo della Misericordia

Once you step inside the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, a veritable repository of priceless artistic treasures, you'll immediately be struck by the gracefulness of the spaces within its three naves. Guided by an expert guide, you will have the privilege of admiring the marble choir crafted by Bandinelli, the intricate ensemble of stained-glass windows crafted by Donatello, Ghiberti, and Andrea del Castagno, as well as the unique clock designed by Paolo Uccello. You'll also be pleasantly surprised as you tread upon a magnificent mosaic of multicolored marbles underfoot. When you look up, the vast and invaluable interior of the Dome, entirely adorned with frescoes by Vasari, will come into view—this being the largest fresco in the world. Brunelleschi's renowned Dome, constructed entirely of masonry, stands as an unrivaled symbol of Renaissance architecture.

Adjacent to the Cathedral, on Piazza del Duomo, you'll also have the opportunity to explore the esteemed Museo della Misericordia, and on the museum's fourth floor, you can relish a breathtaking panorama of Cathedral Square and its monuments, perfect for capturing beautiful photographs. From this vantage point, it almost feels as though you can reach out and touch each monument!

This museum is a hidden gem, slightly off the beaten path, where you can marvel at works by esteemed artists like Santi di Tito, Benedetto da Maiano, Sano di Pietro, Bachiacca, Sogliani, G. Battista Naldini, and numerous other significant figures.

And that's not all—be sure not to overlook the opportunity to delve into the history of all the monuments within the Duomo Monumental Complex. Included in the admission price is an app that provides comprehensive information about the Cathedral, the Brunelleschi Dome, the Giotto Bell Tower, and the Baptistery!
