The Gates of Paradise

The Baptist Church of St. John of Florence is located in the Cathedral Square of Florence, opposite the famous Cathedral of Our Lady of the Hundred Flowers and the Giotto Bell Tower. The Baptist Church has three bronze gates with very fine reliefs on the doors, which are called the Gate of Paradise by Michelangelo. The exquisite reliefs attracted many tourists to take pictures, and they were simply surrounded by a large circle. It is said that the interior decoration of the Baptist Church is also extremely exquisite, with many sculptures and murals inside, but unfortunately there is no chance to visit it. This Baptist Church is where many Renaissance leaders are baptized. Also a baptism hall for all Florence Catholics, famous locally

The gate of heaven is a large "spot" of the "scenic area" of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Florence. Hahaha, I didn't expect it to be a door of the church's attached baptism. Although the gold coins are brilliant, the area is not very large, it is a double door of a normal size. Mainly known for the 8 murals on this door, 8 stories are told. Just look outside, don't queue or buy tickets, so many tour groups will go to the attractions, the tour guide will take there to explain.

The gate of heaven, this golden gate is really famous, this chapel is very famous, many tourists will stop here to watch, this door tells the story of the Bible, but I can't understand...

The Baptist Church of St. Giovanni is located a few meters west of the Baptist Church of the Virgin Mary. It is a white octagonal Romanesque building. Children in Florence are baptized here, including celebrities such as Dante and Machiavelli. The three bronze doors of the Baptist Church are engraved with bronze reliefs of the Old Testament story, two of which are masterpieces that Gilberti spent 21 years, dividing the storyline of the Old Testament into ten pictures, which Michelangelozan called the "gate of the kingdom of heaven". The sculpture of the copper door is exquisite, attracting many tourists to watch, take pictures and take pictures here.

非常棒的体验，幸好提前在网上预约了，不然周末人好多，不枉费我期待这么久，确实很不错

Out of the train station, found the hotel check in, a little rest will come out to go shopping, for Florence is still a little excited, can't wait to walk around; The old town is really not big. I have to pass by here several times every day today [laughs and tears]. Most attractions can be reached on foot, just follow the map. There are still a lot of people in the square next night. The place where a bunch of people gather is the gate of paradise. There are many tour groups here, and there are tour guides to explain, but unfortunately I don’t understand; ah; Do some homework, carefully read a few pictures, really lifelike, the characters' demeanor, action, psychological activities have been shown, the master is awesome!

The octagonal baptism is facing the cathedral of the Virgin Mary, which Michelangelo calls the "gate of heaven" and still lifelike for more than 600 years. Of course, the authenticity is hidden in the church's museum. Michelangelo, the greatest Renaissance sculptor, admired the reliefs and called them "the gates of heaven" . The designer of the Baptist Church was a precise perfectionist, and it took 50 years to complete, and the gilded bronze door panels were finally installed on the east side of the Baptist Church, which recorded the story of the Old Testament. The main scenes are Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham and others.
