About Florence

Florence has an incredible historic and artistic heritage, testimony to its centuries-long civilization.

Florence, home to Cimabue and Giotto, fathers of the Italian Painting. Arnolfo and Andrea Pisano, innovators in architecture and sculpture. Brunelleschi, Donatello and Masaccio, pioneers of the Renaissance. Ghiberti, the Della Robbias, Filippo Lippi and Beato Angelico. Botticelli, Paolo Uccello and Leonardo and Michelangelo, two universal geniuses. The works of these great men and artists, together with those of the generations that followed, are held in numerous museums throughout the city.

  • The Uffizi Gallery is the most famous in the world. The Palatine Gallery is particularly famous for its works from the “golden ages”.

Other top museums on the list include:

  • Bargello (mostly visited for its Renaissance sculptures)
  • The San Marco Museum (famous for its works by Beato Angelico)
  • The Accademia Gallery, the Medici Chapels and Casa Buonarroti (filled with masterpieces by Michelangelo)
  • The Bardini Museum
  • The Horne Museum

  • Fondazione Salvatore Romano

  • The Gallery of Modern Art
  • The Opera del Duomo Museum
  • The Silver Museum and the Opificio delle Pietre Dure (literally meaning “Workshop of Semi-precious Stones”)

Many monuments also testify how significant the artistic contribution of Florence has been. The most noteworthy are:

  • The Baptistry with its mosaics
  • The Cathedral and its sculptures
  • The Medieval churches and their fresco cycles
  • The city's private and public palaces (e.g. Palazzo Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti, Palazzo Medici-Riccardi and Palazzo Davanzati)

Moreover, the Etruscan civilization is well documented in the city's Archaeological Museum.

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982, the historic centre of Florence is surrounded by some larger roads that follow the ancient city walls and boasts some of the world's greatest works.
