A new day — a new city, a new country. This time it’s Florence, Italy.
As part of our 7 Night Western Mediterranean Cruise on Wonder Of The Seas, we arrived in the city of Spezia, Liguria region.
From there, we took a bus to Florence.
Once again, I’ll repeat the obvious (as I’ve mentioned about the places visited during this cruise: Marseille, Rome, Naples): Florence is a beautiful city!
Golden Gates of Florence
Using the term “local attraction” in the context of Florence’s historic center feels redundant because ALMOST EVERYTHING HERE, EVERY INCH IS A LANDMARK.
Palazzo Vecchio
It’s hard to imagine how SUCH buildings were constructed in the 13th century.
The building’s height, including the Arnolfo tower, is 94 meters. That’s practically three 9-story buildings. Wow! And this was the 13th century!
By the way, can you guess what function the top of this tower served?
Florence is magnificent, a must-visit.
