Florence
|
In a country of exceptional beauty, Florence manages to stand out among the very best. Though the city's measurements may be comparatively small, the capital of Tuscany manages to cram an extraordinary collection of artworks within its grand palazzi.
Florence was the epicentre of the Renaissance, where the architecture of the period was at its greatest and most daring. A prime example of this is Brunelleschi's Dome which sits atop Florence Cathedral, defying all previous architectural logic in its design. The Ponte Vecchio across the River Arno adds extra grace. |
