Florence is the capital city of
the Italian region of Tuscany. The city offers a conducive environment for tourists
both locally and internationally. Visit some of the best hotels and float on
the rooftops of Florence to discover the beauty of the city with us.
Cathedral of Santa Maria del
Fiore and Piazza Duomo
The city is home to many
renaissance art and architecture. The buildings are beautifully designed and there
are several museums where you can get an insight of the city’s history. One of
the most Iconic sights is the Duomo. This is a cathedral with a
terracotta-tiled dome. It was engineered by Brunelleschi. You will be smiling
by the time you tour the bell tower, the baptistery, the cathedral and its
museum. You will get a chance to interact with some of the best-known
masterpieces of art and a collection of the oldest materials in Italy. You will
also be mesmerized with the great architecture that was used to construct and
put up these buildings.
Every tour bus stops at this
terrace above the city. The best time to tour this place during the busy months
of tourisms is between the late afternoon and early evening. It is only in this
place that you can appreciate how Brunelleschi’s dome dominates the city
center. The site will give you a clear view of the city that encompasses the
Santa Crone, Porte Vecchio and palazzo Vecchio among many other landmarks. If
you had enough time then spare the whole of your afternoon on a Friday when the
crowd is less and walk here climbing
from the Riverbank to all corners of the place.
Piazza dellaSingnoria and The
Loggia deiLanzi
Visit here and get a view of the
square which is the center of power in Florence since the 14th
century. Today, this square is a social center where great meetings happen. It
is beautifully designed with Neptune Fountain at its center and Palazzo Vecchio
which still hosts the city’s government
and the Loggia deiLanzi which forms one end of the Piazza. The Loggia deiLanzi
has several notable pieces of art work. The renowned work in this square is the
Perseus which has the head of Medusa and also the Michelangelo’s David.
