Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore The very heart of Florence is found at Piazza del Duomo -- Cathedral Square..
Here you can view the spectacular Duomo, the Baptistry, and Giotto's Bell Tower in their delicious hues of sage green, white, and dusky pink. The sheer magnitude of the cathedral is sure to amaze you, as is the beauty of Brunelleschi's cupola, the dome that is yet a testament to the engineering genius of the architect and the daring patronage of the Medici family.

This Square, high above the city and dedicated to the Renaissance sculptor Michelangelo, gives the viewer a breathtaking panorama of Florence (looks like a big postcard) and is the perfect way to start your visit. You ll can watch the Arno riiver traversed by Ponte Vecchio, the splendid duomo dominating the cityscape, the church of Santa Croce, the Medieval tower of Palazzo Vecchio, In the middle of the square there is a bronze copy Michelangelo's masterpiece, the amzing sculpture of David,.

Basilica Santa CroceWhere famous people such as Michelangelo, Machiavelli, Galileo and Rossini are buried. The basilica, which is the largest Franciscan church in the world, is very famous and decorate the many chapels. The most interesting feature of the church is the gigantic Star of David that surrounds the facade.

Built near a Roman crossing, the Ponte Vecchio was until 1218 the only bridge crossing the Arno in Florence. The bridge, as seen today, was built in 1345 after a violent flood destroyed the previous one.
During the Second World War the German troops destroyed all the bridges in Florence, except this one. However, they blocked access to the bridge by destroying the two medieval buildings on its sides.

Piazza della Repubblica has been one of the main squares in Florence since Roman times. The current appearance with a rectangular shape with large nineteenth-century buildings is the result of the urban modernization that Florence underwent when it was the capital of Italy (1865-71: in the same period the ancient thirteenth-century walls that surrounded the city were unfortunately demolished, to make room to larger modern avenues).

If one had to choose images that best represented Florence, very probably two would come to mind: Brunelleschi’s spectacular dome, a fixture of Florentine iconography, along with that which is considered one of the most beautiful squares in all of Italy: Piazza della Signoria.
