Day 01
Walk Through Florence's Medici Legacy
- We will begin the tour at the Medici Palace and walk through the neighbourhood where the Medici family lived, continuing to San Lorenzo Church, where they are all buried.
- Then, we will proceed to Piazza del Duomo, where the magnificent Cathedral of Florence is located. The cathedral also witnessed the terrible assassination of Giuliano dei Medici.
- We will walk through the medieval area to see the medieval houses and talk about life in those times. We will stop in Piazza della Signoria, the political centre of Florence, which served as the residence of the Medici family for a short time.
- Next to the square is Uffizi, one of the most important museums in the world. The building was commissioned by Cosimo I of the Medici family for a very important purpose - offices.
- We will cross Ponte Vecchio, the famous bridge known as the bridge of goldsmiths. Why do you think it was called the bridge of goldsmiths? The reason lies with the Medici.
- We will finish this experience at Pitti Palace, the last Medici residence. You will hear interesting stories about the last member of the family, and how and why this great bloodline ended.
