Florence Cathedral (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, commonly known as the Duomo of Florence, is the main Florentine church, symbol of the city and one of the most famous in Italy; when it was completed, in the fifteenth century, it was the largest church in the world, while today it is considered the third in Europe after St. Peter's in Rome and the Milan Cathedral

Baptistery of St. John (Battistero di San Giovanni), Florence

Highlight • Religious Site

The Baptistery of San Giovanni Battista (patron of the city of Florence) is with the Cathedral and the Campanile di Giotto, a gorgeous unicum, comparable to the Piazza dei Miracoli of Pisa.
It is an octagonal building covered with alternated white and green marbles that in its style and architectural elements (columns, capitals, the geometry of spaces ...) refers to the classic taste, revitalized by the Renaissance.
Outside the visitor can admire the both artistic and symbolic value of the three bronze doors by Andrea Pisano, to the south, and Lorenzo Ghiberti, to the north and to the east (the famous "Porta del Paradiso"): the gilded bronze panels relate episodes respectively from the life of John the Baptist, the New Testament and the Old Testament.
Inside, the dome strikes the visitor with the great mosaic by Coppo di Marcovaldo depicting the Last Judgment, with the classic division between the blessed and the damned souls around a majestic Christ. The poet Dante Alighieri, for the description of Inferno in his "Divina Comedia", was probably inspired just by this Worldview, spread throughout the medieval Christian world.

Palazzo Vecchio and Statue of David (Replica)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Piazza della Signoria in Florence is one of the great central squares of the city and at the same time one of the most famous squares in Italy. At the time of the republic, it was the political and social center of the city with the Palazzo Vecchio. The place was named after the Signoria, the republican government of the city.

Next to the Palazzo Vecchio is the Loggia dei Lanzi. The arcade was built between 1376 and 1382 by Benci di Cione and Simone di Francesco Talenti in the Gothic style. The building was originally used for rallies and receptions of the Republic of Florence and was later named after the mercenaries (Lanzichenecchi) Cosimo I de ’Medicis, who were housed here in the 16th century.

Pitti Palace

Highlight • Historical Site

The Palazzo Pitti was originally built from 1458 for the merchant Luca Pitti. However, because of his involvement in the Pazzi conspiracy and the attack against the Medici family, the building could not be completed at first. Only after the Medici acquired the Boboli hill did they continue to expand the palace. He served since the 16th century. as the residence of the Dukes of Florence.

Ponte Vecchio

Highlight • Bridge

Time for a little Florence sightseeing. And the Ponte Vecchio is just one of them, it is one of the landmarks of the city. Today's stone bridge has existed since the fourteenth century and since then there are also these seem chaotic extensions: these are small shops, which are open to the customers and on the outside, like balconies, towering over the bridge. In any case, you must have seen. The two neighboring bridges offer a good view of the Ponte Vecchio and are perfect for a very classic Florence vacation selfie;)

Arch of the Piazza della Repubblica

Highlight • Monument

"Piazza della Repubblica" is located in the heart of the historic centre of Florence, not far from Piazza della Signoria, Pontevecchio and the Duomo. In Roman times there was the Forum, at the intersection of the Cardo (now Via Roma - Via degli Speziali) and the Decumanus (now Via Strozzi - Via degli Speziali).
In medieval times its area was filled by a market, many buildings and tower-houses. It also became the seat of the ghetto, when the Grand Duke Cosimo dei Medici decided to confine the Jews of the city here.
When Florence became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy (1865-1871) and the city walls were demolished and replaced by wide avenues (modeled on the avenues built by Huysman in Paris), Piazza della Repubblica also underwent a radical transformation: houses, noble palaces, tower-houses, the seats of corporate Arts (Guilds), craft shops, arcades, churches ... were demolished and replaced on all four sides by imposing buildings that housed noble palaces, hotels, elegant cafes and restaurants. Thus the square assumed its present appearance.

June 5, 2024,EuRo🚲2024 - Tag 20: Kulturtag in Florenz (unvergesslich)

Almost two days in Florence. Unforgettable. The city is so full of life and culture.
I got an audio guide on my phone and had a guide that led me through the city with brief information. At the beginning the Museo Leonardo Da Vinci Leonardo, at the end the Giardino del Bobolino. In between there were numerous monuments. And finally …
