Feel the energy of this bustling square, where political rallies and celebrations once unfolded, and experience the essence of Florentine civic life.

Conclude your tour at the Basilica di Santa Croce, a magnificent Franciscan church that serves as the final resting place for some of Italy's most illustrious figures, including Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli.
