Florence Baptistry

This octogonal building in front of the Duomo is one of Florence's oldest buildings. We were there in May and permanently there was a huge line in front of the building. I though I will leave Florence without seeing it. In the last day I tried again, arriving in the Piazza del Duomo about 15 minutes before the closing time. This time there were only a few people in line so I bought a ticket. It was really worth it, the 13th century mosaics which illustrated the Last Judgement are so beautiful. I stayed there until closing time.
