Firenze, Italy- 800+ stairs to climb, but worth every step!

Florence is such a beautiful city with great historic architecture. My favorite part of the trip was the view at the top of the Cupola of the Duomo and Giotto's Campanile (over 800 steps combined to climb to the top of both). It was tiring, but it worth every step!

Florence + Barcelona

Church of the Autostrada

Sagrada Familia as the sun is setting causing beautiful light. I couldn’t stop looking up… Extremely detailed at every scale within every space. And definitely one of the better colorful works of architecture. Can’t wait to see this thing again when it’s done.
