but Florence could also be represented by famous people such
as Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo or Dante
Alighieri.
Read on to find out more abouts its attractions ........
Ponte Vecchio
This famous Bridge is the oldest in Florence, its first
construction already existed before the 11th century but was
destroyed by a flood of the river Arno. The bridge was rebuilt in
solid stone in 1345. Now the bridge hosts mostly upmarket
shops.
The San Lorenzo Market
The Central San Lorenzo Market is housed inside a very large iron
and glass building that was built in 1874. On the ground floor
there are several delicatessens, selling Florentine and Tuscan
delicaciest. On the first floor there are flower stalls and fruit
and vegetable stalls where all the local seasonal produce is
displayed.
Palazzo Pitti
This palace was built for the banker Luca Pitti halfway through
the fifteenth century. After he went bankrupt, the building became
the Medici family residence. The family improved the building,
starting with the large courtyard designed by Ammaniti. The Medici
collected their Baroque and Renaissance art collections here, which
can now be viewed in the Palatina Gallery. The Palace contains
other important museums too: the gallery of Modern Art, the Silver
Museum and the Costume Gallery.
Piazza della Signoria
At the the Piazza della Signoria you
will find a host of delights: Palazzo Vecchio, with its
sixteenth-century hall full of frescoes by Vasari, the Fountain of
Neptune by Ammannati, and the copy of Michelangelo's David all
welcome you when you enter the square. On the right-hand of the
square there is the Loggia della Signoria that contains some fine
statues such as the bronze Perseo by Cellini and il Ratto delle
Sabine by Gianbologna.
Spedale degli Innocenti
This building was opened in 1445, and was the first orphanage in
Europe. A part of the building is still used for this purpose
today. The portico, built by Brunelleschi, is decorated with glazed
terracotta spheres that represent new-born children. It is still
possible to see the "wheel" in the portico, a turning stone
cylinder where mothers placed their unwanted children, who were
then turned round to the inside of the building.
Giardino di Boboli
The Boboli Gardens spread out alongside Palazzo Pitti. They were
both created on the wishes of the Medici family in 1500. If you
take a walk through the wonderful Renaissance gardens, you can see
the magnificent monuments such as the amphitheater, the Grotta del
Buontalenti, and the small island with the statues of the dancing
country-folk.
