Okay, so the Duomo in Florence doesn't lean like this but it got your attention didn't it........ This is my attempt to put an original twist (see what I did there......) on this view of the iconic Cathedral. Think of it as a pigeons eye view.........

This was my second trip to Florence and as I'd been unlucky during my first visit to find the Campanile closed it was top of my list of things I wanted to do this time. It was a pretty tough climb in the August temperatures but well worth it.

From Wikipedia : "The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (English, "Basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower") is the main church of Florence, Italy. Il Duomo di Firenze, as it is ordinarily called, was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436 with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink bordered by white and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.

The cathedral complex, located in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. The three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic centre of Florence and are a major attraction to tourists visiting the region of Tuscany. The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches, and until development of new structural materials in the modern era, the dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed."
