Brunelleschi's Dome Smart Tour 

The history of this monument is ancient and very peculiar. It started in 1418 when a contest to design the Dome was announced, with a relevant prize of 200 gold florins and eternal fame for the winner. The leading architects of that age came to Florence and presented their ideas. Brunelleschi was the winner and Lorenzo Ghiberti was the co-superintendent. The project had been considered absurd by many engineers, and the realization was indeed hard and with many obstacles, but not impossible. On March 25, 1436, for the Feast of the Annunciation, Pope Eugenius IV and a group of cardinals and bishops consecrated the finished Cathedral. Since then the Dome is a symbol of the Florentine Renaissance. Get professional pre-recorded comments. Have your curiosity satisfied by asking the live guide about the works as well.
