Florences Duomo is the citys most iconic landmark. Capped by Filippo Brunelleschis red-tiled cupola, its a staggering construction whose breathtaking pink, white and green marble facade and graceful campanile (bell tower) dominate the medieval cityscape. Sienese architect Arnolfo di Cambio began work on it in 1296, but construction took almost 150 years and it wasnt consecrated until 1436.
