Florence: Magical City Lives and Reminiscences

Florence, the capital city of the Tuscan region, is a fascinating and historic city with a name called art and culture, with the Arno river divided into two, as it is one of the cities where the Renaissance was born. Before entering Florence, we went to Michelangelo Square and looked up at the city. The first time we saw it in this square, we saw a naked statue of David that we would encounter almost everywhere. It is very nice to look at the scene from this square; because it is possible to see all the places to be seen from the top. Arno River, Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge), Duomo, St.Croce and so on. Then we go across and look closely at all these works.

We did not go out; but it is also possible to go up to the top of the dome and look at the elevation of the city. Opposite is the Baptistery with white and green marbles, octagonal structure and famous doors.
