Located in la Piazza del Duomo, the Florence Cathedral is an impressive sight. From afar the church towers over the neighboring buildings, and from up close towers over the viewer.
The cathedral is surrounding by the rest of historic Florence, and since the rest of the city is from also old and in similar styles to the cathedral it does not look out of place, other than that it dwarfs the other buildings in scale.
In the above photo we can see the relative size between the front facade of the cathedral and a person. The dome is almost twice again as tall, so imagine having that in the picture instead of the front - the dome top would be way past the top border of the photo.
