Florence is the capital city of the region of Tuscany and its rich historical, artistic and cultural heritage make it one of the main tourist destinations in Italy and Europe.Founded in the first century A.C. by the Romans, Florence has been through many prosperous and dark periods. The city experienced the battles between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, it was a Commune and then a "Signoria" under the Medici during the Renaissance. It was part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany first with the Medici and then under the Lorraines during the 18th century, up until it became a part of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. Cimabue, Dante Alighieri, Giotto, Brunelleschi, Donatello, Botticelli and Michelangelo are just a few of the famous Tuscan artists who contributed to making Florence such a beautiful and important city in the world

Palazzo Signoria
the Loggia dei Lanzi terrace
Buontalenti restructured the roof of the Loggia to make a terrace where the Medici princes could watch festivities in the Piazza, and today that terrace is a bar that you can enter through the Uffizi and see wonderful views of the Palazzo Vecchio and Duomo.
Piazza San Firenze in Florence named after the Complex of St. Philip Blacks, also known as St. Florence from a mispronunciation of the name of an existing building dedicated to San Fiorenzo.
The Bargello, also known as the Bargello Palace, Museo Nazionale del Bargello, or Palazzo del Popolo is a former barracks and prison, now an art museum
The National Museum has its setting in one of the oldest buildings in Florence that dates back to 1255. Initially the headquarters of the Capitano del Popolo (Captain of the People) and later of the Podestà, the palace became, in the sixteenth century, the residence of the Bargello that is of the head of the police (from which the palace takes its name) and was used as prison during the whole 18th century.
Courtyard
Its walls witnessed important episodes of civic history. It was the meeting place of the Council of the Hundred in which Dante took part. It wituessed sieges, fires, executions, the most famous perhaps being that of Baroncelli, involved in the Pazzi plot against the Medici, which Leonardo also witnessed. During the 14th and 15th century, the palace was subjected to a series of alterations and additions, still preserving its harmonious severity, best seen in the beautiful courtyard, the balcony and the large hall on the first floor.
The building's use as National Museum began in the mid-19th century. Today it is the setting for works of sculpture, mainly from the grand ducal colleotions, and for many examples of "minor'' Gothic decorative arts.
