So many stairs

For class I got to climb to the top of the dome and the clock tower. The stairs were definitely worth it for both. Climbing the dome was amazing. We got to get up close to the original frescos on the inside of the dome! We also got to see the spina pesce which was the masterful discovery that allowed this dome to be created without scaffolding at such a large scale! We got to see the tools used to make the dome along with a replica of the dome in a museum! One thing I learned from this is that I must have a rooftop terrace in my future house because we got to see them all over the city. We also got to see the duomo museum which had the original gates of paradise! I can’t even describe them they are so fantastic. Now I’m off to Lisbon Portugal!Læs mere
