This blog is a companion piece to Blog #17 about our site seeing in Florence. Here we present pictures of the famous Gates of Paradise by Lorenzo Ghiberti, which are located on the Baptistery. The Gates are really just two doors on which Ghiberti sculpted scenes from the Old Testament of the Bible. The Baptistery was built in the 5th century and the Gates were created between 1425 and 1452.
