Florence Cathedral

This "Florence Cathedral" tapestry shows a large cathedral dome in the beautiful city of Florence. Florence is the capital of the Italian region of Tuscany. The city has a large population and is considered one of the most beautiful in the world.

The facade, bell tower and dome as well as the portal of the cathedral is an architectural marvel. Here we see a bird's eye view of the cathedral with the hills of Tuscany in the background.
