Detail of one of the many spires that populate the roof of the Duomo.
The lower part of the spire gives the impression of a small town with its residents housed in shrines. It risies sharply and precariously to the heavens, and where one expects to see a pointed spire top, there is a larger than life statue, watching over all that is below. The effect is dizzying.
