暮色中的大教堂, 米開朗基羅廣場遠眺。 Duomo of Florence, viewed from Piazza Michelangelo.
翡冷翠聖母百花大教堂不單是翡冷翠的代表性教堂, 也是義大利的代表性教堂之一。在開始設計和建築時就有意將它建成義大利最大的教堂, Brunelleschi 的圓頂更是膾炙人口,大家都耳熟能詳, 這裡就不多說了。大教堂廣場上還有聖若望洗禮堂和喬托的鐘樓 (這两處在早些時已po上來, 見下面两亇links)。有關大教堂的資料参考下面英文資料或直接参閱維基百科的網頁:
The following piece of info is burrowed from Wikipedia (維基百科-翡冷翠大教堂 Wikipedia-Florence Cathedral):
{The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is the cathedral church (Duomo) of Florence, Italy, begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436 with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink bordered by white and has an elaborate 19th century Gothic Revival facade by Emilio De Fabris.
The cathedral complex, located in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto’s Campanile. The three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic center of Florence and are a major attraction to tourists visiting the region of Tuscany. The basilica is one of Italy’s largest churches, and until the modern era, the dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.}
Pictures of the Baptistery and the Dome of the Cathedral have been posted earlier, a few pictures shown below were used previously. However, in order to show you a complete story, particularly to those who have not yet seen them, I included some of those pictures here as well. For the two relevant posts, please click:

這就是正面牆背面的教堂內部, 中央下面黑漆漆的是中央的銅門。 由於內部頗喑, 下面幾張照片是經過處理後才可看得較清楚。 The wall behind the facade. A single-armed colossal clock decorated by Paolo Uccelio is still in working order. The interior of the Duomo was pretty dim, the following few pictures were enhanced to show the detail.
中央銅門上方的嵌壁画。 Mosaic above the main gate, Christ crowning Mary as Queen of Heaven.

喬托的鐘樓: 我們登上了圓頂的上面, 享受了360度翡冷翠的景觀, 所以在時間不夠的情况下, 就把爬鐘樓的節目留侍下一回。這裡放上幾張外觀的照片。
Giotto’s Bell Tower (The Campanile): We climbed to the top of the dome and enjoyed a spectacular view of the city of Florence, so we saved the trip to the top of the campanile for the future. The following are some of the statues and reliefs on the outside of the campanile.

Bigallo 凉廊: 在鐘樓的斜對面有一座漂亮的建築, 稱 Loggia del Bigallo。它漂亮的建築設計據說曾是當時的流行話題和仿傚的對象。後來很多人把棄嬰放在這裡, 由政府送到育養院。
Loggia del Bigallo: Across the piazza di San Giovanni, the beautiful Loggia del Bigallo was the place where abandoned children were left. They were sent to foster homes.
圖中的建築就是 Loggia del Bigallo, the middle building in the background.
