Piazza della Repubblica, in the heart of Florence, is one of the city’s most vibrant and historic squares. With origins dating back to Roman times, the square was once the political and commercial center of ancient Florentia. In the 19th century, it was completely renovated during the city’s urban redevelopment, acquiring the elegant and spacious style we see today.

This medieval square, located in front of the majestic Palazzo Vecchio, has been the site of important events and remains a vibrant center of Florentine public life. In the Loggia dei Lanzi, you can find impressive Renaissance sculptures, such as *Perseus with the Head of Medusa* by Benvenuto Cellini and *The Rape of the Sabine Women* by Giambologna. Also in the square, the replica of Michelangelo’s *David* and the Fountain of Neptune add even more beauty to the scene. With its dynamic atmosphere, bustling with tourists and street performers, Piazza della Signoria offers an unforgettable experience, where every corner reveals a piece of Florence’s rich history and artistic legacy.

The Ponte Vecchio is one of Florence’s most recognizable icons and one of the city’s oldest bridges. Dating back to the 14th century, its stone structure is famous for housing shops owned by goldsmiths and jewelers, which have been established there since its construction. Over the centuries, the bridge has undergone various transformations, but its charm and historical character have remained intact. The name “Ponte Vecchio,” meaning “Old Bridge,” reflects its long history and significance. In addition to being a thoroughfare over the Arno River, the bridge offers stunning views of the waters and the city’s banks. Visitors can stroll along its covered corridor, known as the Corridoio Vasariano, which connects the Palazzo Vecchio to the Palazzo Pitti. With its charming colored facades and vibrant atmosphere, the Ponte Vecchio is a must-visit for anyone in Florence, combining history, art, and commerce in a picturesque setting.

Piazza de’ Pitti is one of the most charming squares in Florence, located in front of the imposing Palazzo Pitti, one of the city’s main palaces.

The square is a vibrant meeting point, surrounded by gardens and cafés, offering stunning views of the city and serving as a popular spot to relax and enjoy the Florentine atmosphere. On the opposite side of the palace are the Boboli Gardens, a magnificent example of Renaissance landscaping, inviting visitors to explore its paths and fountains.
