Florence Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore

The extraordinary 'optical illusion' of the marble mosaic tiles of the 17th-century Florence Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore in Italy.

The mosaic optical illusion of the Cathedral, seen from above, this intricate geometry creates the illusion of a giant abyss into which people could stumble.

The red, white, black and green marble floor was a colossal job that took 160 years to complete.

It was built by the grand Florentine craftsmen, led by the Renaissance sculptor Baccio d'Agnolo (1462–1543), and completed in 1660 AD.

The primary goal of the builders was to surpass the splendor of the Roman imperial floors, especially those of the Pantheon.

The result forms a gigantic unit of fascinating geometric carpets, lined within the arches of the cathedral.

In various parts of the floor, you can see the coat of arms of the Medici family, the family of bankers who left an indelible mark on all of Florence and who played a leading role in the completion of the cathedral.
