Basilica di Santa Maria Novella

Highlight • Religious Site

At 200 meters from the main railway station of Florence is the basilica of Santa Maria Novella, one of the most important churches in the city. In addition to being extremely picturesque, it was also the reference point of the Dominican order. The square could be very crowded, so I recommend that you carry your bicycle by hand.

Florence Cathedral (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, commonly known as the Duomo of Florence, is the main Florentine church, symbol of the city and one of the most famous in Italy; when it was completed, in the fifteenth century, it was the largest church in the world, while today it is considered the third in Europe after St. Peter's in Rome and the Milan Cathedral

Baptistery of St. John (Battistero di San Giovanni), Florence

Highlight • Religious Site

The Baptistery of San Giovanni Battista (patron of the city of Florence) is with the Cathedral and the Campanile di Giotto, a gorgeous unicum, comparable to the Piazza dei Miracoli of Pisa.
It is an octagonal building covered with alternated white and green marbles that in its style and architectural elements (columns, capitals, the geometry of spaces ...) refers to the classic taste, revitalized by the Renaissance.
Outside the visitor can admire the both artistic and symbolic value of the three bronze doors by Andrea Pisano, to the south, and Lorenzo Ghiberti, to the north and to the east (the famous "Porta del Paradiso"): the gilded bronze panels relate episodes respectively from the life of John the Baptist, the New Testament and the Old Testament.
Inside, the dome strikes the visitor with the great mosaic by Coppo di Marcovaldo depicting the Last Judgment, with the classic division between the blessed and the damned souls around a majestic Christ. The poet Dante Alighieri, for the description of Inferno in his "Divina Comedia", was probably inspired just by this Worldview, spread throughout the medieval Christian world.

The Piazza della Signoria was the city's center of political power for centuries. It is dominated by the Palazzo Vecchio, where the Medici resided before moving to the Palazzo Pitti. In front of the entrance to the palazzo is a famous group of sculptures, including a marble copy of Michelangelo's "David".
