Florence Parks and Squares

Florence’s public spaces range from historic political hubs like Piazza della Signoria, home to Renaissance sculptures, to the expansive Boboli Gardens, a UNESCO-listed masterpiece of Italian landscape design. This collection includes the Roman-era foundations of Piazza della Repubblica, the iconic cathedral complex at Piazza del Duomo, and panoramic viewpoints at Piazzale Michelangelo and Giardino delle Rose. Beyond the major squares, discover the 15th-century Cascine Park, the private Torrigiani Garden, and the bronze Porcellino fountain.
