Piazza del Duomo - Piazza del Duomo serves as the spiritual core of Florence and the essence of its historic center, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, visitors can marvel at some of the city’s most significant monuments in one sweeping view, offering a rich blend of history, art, and beauty that is truly breathtaking. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, featuring Brunelleschi’s Dome, Giotto’s Bell Tower, and the Baptistery, all stand proudly here, surrounded by historic buildings and a variety of museums, both large and small.
-
Basilica di San Lorenzo - The Basilica of San Lorenzo is among the oldest churches in Florence, reputedly consecrated by St. Ambrose on Easter Day in 393 CE, although the current structure dates back to the mid-1400s, designed by Brunelleschi. This intriguing church, lacking a façade, is steeped in history, though it may not house the same array of notable burials as Santa Croce.
-
Loggia del Mercato Nuovo - Situated in the heart of the historic center, just a short walk from Ponte Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria, lies one of Florence’s most iconic spots, the Loggia del Mercato Nuovo, or New Market.
-
Palazzo Medici Riccardi - The original palace of the Medici family, where Cosimo the Elder and Lorenzo the Magnificent resided, and where artists like Donatello, Michelangelo, Paolo Uccello, Benozzo Gozzoli, and Botticelli created their masterpieces.
-
Church and Museum of Orsanmichele - The Church and Museum of Orsanmichele, Florence’s former granary, has reopened to the public, showcasing Renaissance masterpieces by Donatello and Verrocchio. Initially, there was an oratory dedicated to St. Michael, surrounded by a garden, or as it was then known, a vegetable garden. This led to the name San Michele in orto, which eventually became Orsanmichele.
-
Piazza della Signoria - Piazza della Signoria has long been the political and social hub of Florence. It has hosted numerous parlamentos, or public gatherings, and is a renowned location where tourists can leisurely explore and appreciate the square’s many attractions. In Piazza della Signoria, visitors will find the famous loggia adorned with statues commemorating significant city events and myths, the Fountain of Neptune, the entrance to Palazzo Vecchio, a replica of David, the notable bronze equestrian statue, and the Gucci Museum. Additionally, the renowned Uffizi Gallery is adjacent to Piazza della Signoria.
-
Galleria dell’Accademia - The Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze houses some of the world’s most significant painting and sculpture collections, including Michelangelo’s sculptures, notably his famous David, and a rich collection of early Italian paintings. The Gipsoteca in the monumental Salone dell’Ottocento features an impressive collection of plaster casts and models by Lorenzo Bartolini and his student Luigi Pampaloni. The museum also boasts musical instruments that belonged to the grand dukes of Tuscany, Medici, and Lorraine, most of which were part of the Conservatorio Luigi Cherubini of Florence.
-
Gallerie Degli Uffizi - The Uffizi Gallery in Florence is one of the world’s most prestigious museums. Its core collection spans from the 13th to the 18th century, offering a faithful reflection of one of the most remarkable periods in art history: the Renaissance. The gallery features works by prominent artists such as Giotto, Piero della Francesca, Paolo Uccello, Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Pontormo, Titian, and Caravaggio.
