In front of the entrance to the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore is an octagonal building. Dante was baptized here. On the east side, pay attention to the doors - the Gates of Paradise. Made by Ghiberti. On them you can see a self-portrait of Ghiberti. Around 10 tiles with bas-reliefs of the Old Testament, frame. On which there are 24 ledges with the heads of artists. Ghiberti is fourth from the top in the right corner of the left half. Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to visit inside (lack of time). But there is something to see.
