As the highlight of the Duomo Cathedral, you will be eager to see it up close… Follow your guide up a small set of stairs to the “hidden terrace.” A guard will unlock the door, granting you exclusive access to a secret balcony.

You will re-enter through a secret room of old statues that were once displayed outside the Cathedral. The tour will last about an hour.
