Santa Maria del Fiore, designed by Arnolfo di Cambio, is the third largest church in the world and was the largest church in Europe when it was completed in the 15th century. It is 153 metres long, 90 meters wide at the crossing, and 90 meters high from the floor to the bottom of the lantern.

Museo Nazionale del Bargello—which opened in 1865 by order of by royal decree, making it Italy’s first national museum—houses the city’s most important collection of Renaissance sculpture. A former barracks and prison, the building alone is impressive, never mind the masterpieces by Michelangelo and Donatello.

The Ponte Vecchio is Florence’s most legendary symbol. It is also considered by many as the most romantic spot in Florence. The first bridge was made of wood and replaced by one made of stone in 1333. A few years later it was destroyed by the river, and it was later reconstructed in 1345. The stone structure still stands to this day, making it the oldest stone bridge in Europe.

Close to Piazzale Michelangelo, there is a small Romanesque church on the hill: the Basilica San Miniato al Monte. The church was built as early as 1015 on top of the tomb of Saint Minias, a martyr of Christianity, who was beheaded by Emperor Decius in the third century.

The Gucci Garden is located right in the heart of Florence, in Piazza della Signoria. While Florence is known for its incredible renaissance art museums, the Gucci Garden offers a fresh, contemporary art experience.

The Opera del Duomo, also known as the “OPA”, is the cathedral workshop or “works commission” and was founded by the Republic of Florence in 1296 to oversee the constructions of the new Cathedral and its bell tower.

In 1436, the Cathedral was finally finished with the completion of Brunelleschi’s dome and its consecration.

The Bardini Garden, the most beautiful panoramic view over Florence.

Villa Bardini today brings to mind the “Casini di Delizia” developed as relaxation homes around Florence between the end of the 16th and first half of the 17th centuries. These home were traditionally surrounded by expansive tracts land serving agricultural and ornamental purposes.
