| The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore was the major church in Florence in the Renaissance period, but it was a building which was largely built in the fourteenth century thus pre-dating the Renaissance. The origins go back to the Middle Ages, when Italian cities competed to build larger and greater cathedrals. The exterior is notable for the geometric patterning made from encrusted marble. |
