El Duomo
Detail #3

View of the central rose window and part of the line of statues running across the top of the facade. The church is dedicated to St. Mary of the Flowers (St. Maria del Fiore) and the central position of the statue of St. Mary holding Jesus (lower center) emphasizes that dedication.
