In 1419, Brunelleschi was given the task of completing the dome for the Cathedral of Florence and it took 16 years to built. The dome has 4 million bricks, is 15 ft high, an 30 ft long.

*He looked at Rome's Patheon and the dome has Greek columns near the bottom and it uses the same process of building that was used by the Romans.
