The Journey
Florence Baptistery, Duomo, and Giotto's Bell Tower
Discover the religious heart of Florence, dominated by the Baptistery with its stunning bronze doors (including Ghiberti's 'Gates of Paradise'), the magnificent Duomo (Florence Cathedral) crowned by Brunelleschi's groundbreaking dome, and Giotto's Bell Tower, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Climb to the top of the Duomo for breathtaking panoramic views of Florence or admire the intricate mosaics within the Baptistery. This is where Florentine religious history and artistic genius converge.
Roman and Nineteenth-Century Florence
Journey through time in Florence, where echoes of the Roman Empire blend seamlessly with the grandeur of the 19th century. Discover ancient Roman ruins intertwined with elegant boulevards and stately architecture from the period when Florence briefly served as the capital of Italy. Explore the remnants of the Roman Forum and admire the neoclassical designs that reflect the city's transformative eras. This cultural fusion offers a unique perspective on Florence's layered history.
Piazza della Signoria
Enter the political heart of Florence at Piazza della Signoria, a vibrant square showcasing a remarkable collection of art and history. Marvel at the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, the city's town hall, guarded by a replica of Michelangelo's David. Admire the Fountain of Neptune (Biancone) and the Loggia dei Lanzi, home to breathtaking sculptures such as 'The Rape of the Sabines' and 'Hercules and the Centaur' by Giambologna. A visit to the adjacent Uffizi Gallery is essential for any art lover. This square is a testament to Florence's power and artistic legacy.
Ponte Vecchio
Stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, Florence's only bridge to survive World War II, and the only bridge across the Arno until 1218. Admire the shops built along it, a tradition dating back to the 13th century. Originally home to butchers, these shops are now occupied by jewelers and art dealers. Experience the unique atmosphere of this medieval landmark, a symbol of resilience and Florentine ingenuity, offering picturesque views of the Arno River and the surrounding city.
