The Gates of Paradise Review

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 famous gate of heaven is majestic. Located on the side of the cathedral of the Virgin Mary, the outside is now surrounded and cannot be entered. Coming to Florence is a journey through the church and the literal revival.

The gate of heaven is a door on one of the sides of the octagonal chapel of St. Giovanni. The golden gate is always eye-catching, but we can't understand the complex and exquisite reliefs above, but we probably know some stories about the crucifixion of Jesus

Very good experience, fortunately, I made an appointment online in advance, otherwise there are a lot of people on weekends, I am looking forward to it for so long, it is really good

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.

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.
