Piazza del Duomo (English: "Cathedral Square") is located in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. It is one of the most visited places in Europe and the world and in Florence, the most visited area of the city. The Piazza del Duomo is part of the Historic Centre of Florence, which was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. The designation recognizes the square's outstanding value for its concentration of religious and civic monuments—including the Florence Cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore), the Baptistery of San Giovanni, and Giotto's Campanile—which reflect the political, economic, and artistic achievements of Florence during the Renaissance.
