The bell tower of this famous cathedral was designed by Giotto. Brunelleschi designed the dome, which is a double dome with one leaning into the other for support. I (Joanne) don't understand the architectural wonders behind the design of this impressive dome, but it is larger than St. Peter's and intentionally was to be the largest in the world at that time. It is 180 feet high and 140 feet wide.
