This is the Master Index page for the Florence section.
It has section links (graphical text), page links (small display composites) and links to page content. These pages are laid out with a number of large thumbnails, and it is best to open the page from the page links. If you select a content link that is deep in a page, the images will take a while to load.

The Cathedral of Florence (The Duomo)
This section details the Cathedral of Florence, Santa Maria del Fiore (St. Mary of the Flower). It is divided into four pages: two on the Cathedral itself, separated into Architectural Details of the 14th century and 19th century facades, and Architectural Scenics, Sculptures and Interiors. There are separate pages on Giotto’ Campanile (bell tower),and the Baptistry of St. John.

Palazzo Vecchio (Old Palace)
I have split this section into two pages. The first page contains images of the exterior and the cortile (Michelozzo’s courtyard), as well as images of the interior in the public spaces other than the Medici’s Apartment of the Elements (the residence of Grand Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici and Eleonora di Toledo). The second page has images of the Apartment of the Elements, detailing the frescoes and sculptures in a showcase of the architecture and art created by the most powerful family in Florence, the Medici, principal patrons of Art and Architecture in the revolutionary period we know as the Renaissance.
