Embark on a journey of total immersion into the art of Michelangelo and discover his most renowned work, the awe-inspiring "David," along with other significant creations like "I Prigioni," "San Matteo," and the remarkable "Palestrina Pietà."
Michelangelo, in his youth, sculpted the David from a colossal block of raw marble over three years, crafting an imposing masterpiece of absolute beauty that has become an icon of the Renaissance era.
After the guided tour, you'll have the option to linger in the museum and soak in the artistry.
Step into the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, a treasury of priceless artistic wonders, and be immediately captivated by the elegance of its three naves. Guided by an expert, witness Bandinelli's exquisite marble choir, the intricate stained-glass windows crafted by Donatello, Ghiberti, and Andrea del Castagno, and the intriguing and enigmatic clock by Paolo Uccello. Stroll on the marvellous carpet of polychrome marbles and, when you gaze upward, the grand interior of the Dome, entirely frescoed by Vasari, the world's largest fresco, will take your breath away.
Adjacent to the Cathedral in Piazza del Duomo, stands the Museo della Misericordia, ascend to the fourth floor of the museum for an incredible view of Cathedral Square and its monuments.
