This was a "stay-in-Florence" day and we spent part of it visiting the Duomo complex. That includes the Cathedral which will hold 20,000 people (standing), the Baptistry, Giotto's bell tower and the Duomo Museum. Barbara was the only one to climb the 414 steps to the top of the tower - she said the view was wonderful - we took her word for it! (By the way, she also walked 414 steps down - there is no elevator!) In the Duomo Museum we saw many of the orginal works of the Duomo that had been moved there for preservation and replaced with replicas. Built in the 13th century, the church stands over an earlier 7th century church, Santa Reparata. The Baptistry is actually the oldest part of the complex dating from the 6th century. There sure is a lot of "oldness" here! Some of us saw Dante's house and head (see photos!)as we ambled around after the museum visit. Everyone was out doing their own thing this afternoon and evening. Another great day with good weather too! More later!
