The Duomo can be seen from all over the city in Florence. Kristin and I climbed the Campanile which is next door to the Duomo. It is amazing to me that these VERY OLD buildings are structurally sound enough to let scores of people walk through them. The Campanile was fun to climb, but the stairs were very narrow and claustrophobic. At one point, Kristin tripped on the way down, scraped her foot and twisted her ankle. I can only imagine how many people might do the same, or even experience chest pain from the workout. It would be a nightmare to try to get someone down the stairs if that were the case. (In case you are wondering, she is fine.) At any rate, I thought I would share some pics of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Campanile next to it. Beautiful!
