Funny Fact about the Cathedral

So while no one can deny that the Florence Cathedral is magnificent and incredibly impressive, apparently because of the long building process some things such as the windows do not match up from inside to outside! According to this article I read, the first few windows of the nave of the cathedral are eternally dark because of a mismatched interior and exterior architecture. I find this pretty amusing, but also not all to surprising because a cathedral is an enormous building requiring many years of labor, and with all the problems that the Florence Cathedral had during it's construction it is a wonder more things are not messed up.
