After looking at countless pictures of the cathedral, the feature that always strikes me the most is how massive the dome is. I sketched a quick picture of the church from the side with nothing around it, and I tried to keep an accurate scale.
The dome, relative to the rest of the church, is absolutely gigantic. The church itself is huge, which speaks for how large the dome really is. From the side the campanile is a light component to balance the very heavy component of the dome on the right. I would very much like to visit the cathedral in real life just to experience the feeling of being around and in the cathedral firsthand.
