Cappella dei Principi - Florence, Italy

After arriving in Florence on a red-eye, Mike Louthan and I spent the afternoon walking around this historic city, marveling at the architecture and history before checking into our hotel. After meeting our fellow photographers and having dinner, a number of us headed to the roof of the hotel to take some night photos of the Piazza di Santa Maria Novella below. Looking the opposite way from the piazza, I spotted this dome lighting up the surrounding buildings. After editing this photo, I thought it would be easy to find out the dome’s name. How wrong I was. Do you know how many domes there are in Florence? Let me tell you— a lot. The problem is that every time you try a search looking for a dome in Florence, the famed Brunelleschi's Dome comes up, as it is one of the most famous domes in Europe. I spent a lot of time researching and finally found it. It is the dome of Cappella dei Principi, which is part of the complex of Basilica di San Lorenzo. It is the larger of two chapels on the grounds.
