5 Stop 5 of 11 on How to Build the Impossible

The Baptistery — The Gates of Paradise

Duomo, Florence

A Preview

"In front of the cathedral stands a smaller, eight-sided building wrapped in the same marble, with a set of doors on this side that look like solid gold. That's the Baptistery, one of the oldest buildings in Florence — so old that medieval Florentines were convinced it had once been a Roman temple. You're here for the doors in a moment."
