Review:
Florence Cathedral, also known as the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, is Florence's official cathedral, originally designed in 1296 by Arnolfo di Cambio and extensively renovated in the 19th century with a Gothic Revival-style facade by Emilio de Fabris.
The cathedral, along with the nearby Florence Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site preserving the city's historic city centre. The cathedral serves as the mother church for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence, currently overseen by archbishop Giuseppe Betori.
Notable features include a 15th-century brick dome constructed by Filippo Brunelleschi, which remains the largest brick dome in the world, and significant works of art by Paolo Uccello and Andrea del Castagno.
