Piazza del Duomo 50122

How to get to the Duomo: station, ZTL and the right door

Ten minutes on foot from Santa Maria Novella. The hard part is not finding it: it is standing at the façade with a dome slot that is burning on the north side. This page is a door map, not a hymn to the historic centre.
