Florence's Duomo (interior)

For sure, the real gem of this Duomo is the exterior because the interior is quite simple and unadorned. Still, this church has a beautiful interior, including a beautiful dome painting of the Last Judgement.

Likewise, the Duomo's Baptistry is equally impressive with colorful 13th centrutry mosaics illustrating the Last Judgment. Interesting factoid: Dante was baptized here.
