View of the Duomo in Florence

The view of the Duomo in Florence and Palazzo Pitti Boboli Gardens is a truly majestic site and one of the most popular places to visit in the city. Dominantly overlooking the landscape, the Duomo is an impressive, 65-meter dome-like structure that is an important symbol of Florence’s religious heritage. Inside the church lies the formidable octagonal lantern, which dates back to the 15th century. Palazzo Pitti Boboli Gardens are situated right behind the Duomo and is a vast Italian garden area that was once home to the Pitti family. It’s also known to be the place of the ‘Tour of the Garden’, a major cultural event hosted by the Medici family. From the Boboli’s main entrance, you can enter the picturesque gardens boasting 15 acres of meticulously manicured lawns, tall cypress trees and an array of spectacular fountains. There is also an abundance of art scattered throughout the park for visitors to explore, such as numerous statues, grottos and even ancient Roman ruins. This unique area of Florence is one you’ll never forget - and a great photo opportunity!
