Tuscany - Florence

We spent a fun day in Florence, seeing the amazing Cathedral, tasting some yummy food from the market and going to the famous Ponte Vecchio.

Basilica di San Miniato al Monte



Piazza del Duomo

Neo-gothic façade in white, green and red marble

 

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

Gorgeous gold doors.

Vasari's fresco begun in 1568,
and completed by Federico Zuccaro in 1579.

Fountain of Neptune



A reproduction of Michelangelo's statue David.

The Vecchio Bridge, the oldest and most famous bridge in Florence.
Butchers initially occupied the shops, but the present tenants are jewellers. :)

Beautiful Italian mountains.

Having fun!

FINALLY asleep
(for a total of 30 minutes in the car for the whole trip!)
