Florence, Where the Medici Family Gathered Their Treasures
Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi and the Dome – the whole Florence is a superb museum
Those who view the city from the enormous lantern of the Dome are amazed by the charm of Florence. The tile of the roof seems to be made of velvet. Its roof is made of golden shade and the churches, squares and bridges appear as jewels of a superb necklace.
