Florence, Italy
Pictures from my absolute favourite city in the world, Florence, Italy – The birthplace of the renaissance where the present is artfully blended with the past. History around every corner. Cathedrals and other ancient monuments popping up throughout the city to remind you of the pervasive influence the bygone days have on modern times. Florence was the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, a period of cultural revival that affected everything from science and sculpture to philosophy and exploration. Let my pictures show you some of the citys highlights.
Palazzo Vecchio, constructed 1299 by Arnolfo di Cambio, the architect of the Duomo of Florence and the church of Santa Croce. Palazzo Vecchio is constructed on the ruins of the Palazzo dei Fanti and the Palazzo dell'Esecutore di Giustizia in Piazza della Signoria. The Palazzo serves today as town hall of Florence. It overlooks the Piazza della Signoria, which holds a copy of Michelangelo's David statue, and the gallery of statues in the adjacent Loggia dei Lanzi. Source: https://www.florence-museum.com/
