Vacation in Italy – Florence

ckii96 · 15th January 2007

I am presenting another series of Italy on Florence (Firenze). Hope you like them.

The view of Basilica di San Lorenzo from Piazza San Lorenzo.

The main dome of the lovely Duomo (Cathedral) with facades of white and green marbles.

A bird-eye view of Florence from atop the main dome of the Duomo, it's a hectic climb (more than 400 steps) for me but I was rewarded with this view.

The tower on the right belongs to Palazzo Vecchio located at the eminent Piazza della Signoria where a copy of Michelangelo's "David" is. On the centre-left is the tower of Palazzo del Bargello, which is a museum now that houses a lot of famous sculptures by Michelangelo and Donatello.

The details of a column and the arches of Mercato Nuovo, a market square since the ancient time which is still in operation today!

The Ponte Vecchio across River Arno with houses built on the bridge.

The corridor of Galleria degli Uffizi which houses the spectacular treasures: "Birth of Venus" and "Allegory of Spring" by Botticelli, and Leornado Da Vinci's "Annunciation". Priceless paintings by Michelangelo, Raphael and other Florence painters are also exhibited here. No photo-taking is allowed inside this gallery.

Interesting curves of the arches inside Palazzo Vecchio.

One of the palaces around Florence, the Palazzo Strozzi.

Thanks for viewing and good day!
