Florence's historic landscape centers on the Piazza del Duomo’s Renaissance architecture and the medieval Vecchio Bridge. This collection highlights the city's defensive heritage through the 13th-century Roman Gate and the isolated Tower of San Niccolò. Significant religious and funerary sites include the Basilica of the Holy Cross, housing the tombs of Machiavelli and Michelangelo, and the opulent marble-clad Medici Chapel.
