Even if you don’t like history and culture, Florence is still the city to visit when you want to take an Italian vacation. Florence is purely Italian and provides you with the opportunity to experience the world in a completely different way.
For instance, you’ll notice great architecture. Even someone who has no idea about architecture is really going to appreciate it.
And then there is the history and the culture, which much of it does have to do with the architecture. The rest has to do with the art, the food, the entertainment, and the people.
So here are some places you really need to take a look at when in Florence:
• You have the Laurentian Library by Michelangelo in 1525.
• The Ponte Vecchio by Taddeo Gaddi in 1345 and 1564
• The Florence Cathedral by Arnolfo di Cambio from 1296 to 1462
And these are just three of the attractions that you need to see. And if you’re wondering about the dates, such as the Florence Cathedral being built from 1296 to 1462, you are right to think that. Many structures in Florence were built over hundreds of years. When you look at the detail, it is totally understandable. There are some structures that are still being worked on to this day. This brings about the question of whether or not the structures in Florence are truly ever finished. Perhaps this is why so much of it is so incredibly amazing.
And yes, there is great wine and great food for you to enjoy while you are checking out the history and the culture of the city. You’ll find that you’ll really have a new appreciation for history and culture because you’re literally stepping back in time when you visit. Once you’re there, you’ll probably have a hard time leaving.
