Here in 1994 is the famous dome of the Florence cathedral. Designed and built by Brunelleschi, it was one of the foremost architectural achievements of the Renaissance. The cathedral complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The dome posed major technical challenges which Brunelleschi managed to resolve. Construction was from 1420 to 1436.
This building, the Cappella dei Pazzi, photographed in Florence in 1994, is considered to be a gem of the Italian renaissance. It is a small domed chapel designed by Filippo Brunelleschi and built between 1442 and 1461. The dome and portico were completed in conformity with his plans after his death in 1448.
