Florence

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, is renowned for its art and architecture. Most sights lie north of the River Arno: the Uffizi Gallery, the Duomo, the Giotto's tower, and the baptistery with its magnificent bronze doors. Another cluster of sites is formed by the Bargello Museum with its collection of Renaissance sculpture, the medieval Palazzo Vecchio, and the statue-adorned church of Orsanmichele.
