Itinerar

  1. Mercato Centrale

    15 min

    Florence’s first major marketplace, known now as the Mercato Vecchio, or “Old Market” was

    demolished as part of the city’s renovations during the mid-nineteenth century. The structure

    housing the Central Market was designed by Giuseppe Mengoni, an Italian architect best

    known for

    the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a massive arcade in Milan named in honor of the king of Italy.

  2. Museo di San Marco

    15 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    The religious complex was renovated during the fifteenth century through the funding of the Medici

    family. The current monastery stands on the site of a Benedictine monastery that dates back to the

    12th century. The monastery was designed by the famous Florentine architect Michelozzo, who

    was a close friend of Cosimo the Elder, the head of the Medici family. Michelozzo even

    specially

    constructed a cell in San Marco for Cosimo’s private retreat.

  3. Galleria dell'Accademia

    15 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    This institution was founded in 1784, when the Grand Duke of Tuscany determined that all art

    schools in Florence should be located in one place. Though

    the Accademia displays works by several

    Renaissance artists, by far the most famous piece in its collection is Michelangelo’s statue of David.

  4. Piazza della Signoria

    15 min

    It was named for the Palazzo della Signoria, or town hall. The Signoria was the governing body of the

    Florentine Republic. The palazzo is located on your left as you enter the square from Via dei Gondi.

    Florence’s town hall was constructed in 1299 by Arnolfo di Cambio, the same architect who designed

    the cathedral. Cambio’s façade remains intact, though the elegant marble frieze over the entrance

    wasn’t added until 1528.

  5. Ponte Vecchio

    15 min

    This is the narrowest part of

    the river, and there has been a bridge located here since Roman times

    in the 1st century A.D. The first bridge was destroyed by a flood in 1117. It was rebuilt but

    destroyed again in 1333. In 1345, the current bridge was constructed. A tower was also built at the

    southeast corner in order to defend the bridge during attacks on the city.

  6. Basilica of Santa Croce

    15 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    The current church was most likely designed by Arnolfo di Cambio in 1295 and stands on the site of the

    original oratory built by the first Franciscan friars to journey to Florence. The basilica has a Tau Cross

    floorplan, which resembles the capital letter “T”. This symbol is one of the traditional emblems of

    Saint Francis. The vast, austere interior of the church is characteristic of Franciscan aesthetics, with

    an open timber roof and a single, wide nave leading to the altar.
