Firenze (Florence)

We spent 2 days in Firenze (Florence) and it is a great city. There is a lot to see and do.

The Duomo in Firenze is one of the main sites of course and it is probably the most beautiful one we had seen to this point, exceeded only by St. Peters at the Vatican.

here is a picture from when we were climbing in the tower, very nice detail on the side of the Duomo and another church in the background

a couple more pictures from up high of the roof of the Duomo



interesting angle and blue skies for once


a bit of all the main buildings of the Duomo


nice picture of the Duomo with a storm in the background


nice fountain inside the courtyard of Palazzo Pitti


the Giardino di Boboli (garden) were nice and we left just as a huge storm was coming



Piazza della Repubblica



the grotto was also at Giardino di Boboli
