take a city tour of Florence. We will visit; the Arno
River, neighboring Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery and Pitti
Palace. Visit Florence's oldest building, the Romanesque
Bapitistry, adorned with pink, white and green marble. Ghiberti
competed with other artists for the right to sculpt the finely
detailed bronze doors, called the “Gates of Paradise,” designed
by fellow artist
Michelangelo. One of the oldest buildings in Florence, it was
initially the city's cathedral. The interior of this building is
just as beautiful as the exterior. The walls are covered in
marble and ancient Roman columns stand below a blazing mosaic
ceiling. In the center, there is an empty octagon marking the
altar where children born in the past year were baptized on New
Year's Eve. This afternoon you can visit the Academy of Fine
Arts, highlighted by Michelangelo's David, commissioned in 1501
by the Florentine Republic when Michelangelo was only 25 years
old. From a seemingly unusable block of marble, he sculpted one
of the greatest masterpieces of civilization.

architectural work of great importance that shelters
