1. Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is also known as the Duomo, which is an Italian term for cathedral. Dominating the Florence skyline is the Duomo’s magnificent dome, considered by many to be the most important architectural achievement of the Renaissance. Inside the cathedral, you’ll find stained-glass windows and frescoes by Italian masters, and one of the oldest examples of an hora italica clock in the world. For many, the most impressive part of a visit is a close-up view of the building itself.

7. Pitti Palace
Discover a wealth of art within the vast, fortress-like walls of the Pitti Palace (Palazzo Pitti). The Gallery of Modern Art holds important Italian pieces from the 18th to early 20th centuries, while the Silver and Carriages museums offer glimpses into the lifestyle of Florence’s longest-ruling family. The Palatine houses a collection of masterpieces second only to the Uffizi’s. The core of the building was constructed in 1458 for wealthy banker Luca Pitti, and sold to the Medicis in 1549. It was opened to the public in 1919.

8. Palazzo Vecchio
With its crenellated roof, the Palazzo Vecchio sometimes resembles a fortress rather than a city hall. Though first constructed in the early 1300s on top of the old Roman theater, the building was continuously rebuilt and expanded upon, marking it with the passage of time and fashion in Florentine history. Learn about this interesting past and climb the tower, whose elevated position makes it as good for getting pictures and views of the city as it has been for spotting enemies on the horizon.
