(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del FiorePass-by Only
Built between 1296 and 1436, the main cathedral in town was, at its completion, the largest ever built. Nowadays it is considered the third in the world, after St. Peter in Rome and St.Paul in London. Indeed, the dome by Filippo Brunelleschi is still the largest brick dome ever built and - at the inner side - the widest frescoed surface worldwide (3600 sqm). The architectural style, influenced by the pristine design by Arnolfo di Cambio and later modified by Francesco Talent and Filippo Brunelleschi, marks the turning from a mature Gothic manner to the first Reinassance .
Battistero Di San GiovanniPass-by Only
Standing between Piazza San Giovanni and Piazza Duomo, this Romanesque building was completed around 1059. The exteriors are characterized by the alternation of white marble from Carrara and green "serpentine" from Prato, with three majestic bronze portals designed by Andrea Pisano and Lorenzo Ghiberti.
Piazza della RepubblicaPass-by Only
On the site of the ancient Roman "forum", densely built-on during the Medieval age, this square was created in the 19th century, when Florence became the Italian capital city for a few years (1865/1871). The so-called "Risanamento" (restoration) meant to introduce modern urbanist concepts in the dense Medieval texture of the town centre. Unfortunately, many important buildings of the past went lost during the demolitions.
