Alphabet Series: F - Florence, Italy
The Florence Cathedral (officially The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, unofficially Il Duomo) was begun in 1246 CE according to the designs of Arnolfo de Cambio and completed in 1436 with Filippo Brunelleschi's dome. You can read more about the drama of engineering the dome in Ross King's Brunelleschi's Dome. (I had to read it in college.)
