Florence: Santa Maria del Fiore: Photo Archive

About this photograph

The cathedral exterior combines patterned marble, projecting architectural elements and the adjoining urban space. The low-angle composition emphasises vertical lines. For your own photograph, choose a permitted position that keeps doorways clear and avoids blocking people moving through the cathedral area.
