The foundation of this spectacular structure dates as far back as the 11th century. The building exudes an Italian-Romanesque style. The structure itself is magnificent, but the three sets of bronze doors (first created by Andrea Pisano and later completed by Lorenzo Ghiberti) are breathtaking. His descriptive artwork is divided into panels and depicts captivating scenes from the Old and New Testaments. The work is so beautifully done that Michelangelo praised them.   (© 10Best)

The architecture and the "golden doors" are incredible. The whole area is fantastic.
