10/26/2013 - Florence, Italy
The massive Duomo (cathedral) in the center of Florence is mostly empty. That's unusual for churches in Europe. Usually you can walk in and sit down if you want to pray.
Walking to the front of the cathedral, you can look up and see a painting on the ceiling above the altar. Going back outside, you can buy a ticket to walk up the 400+ stairs for a closer look at the painting and a panoramic view of the city. It's a nice view.
