Piazza della Signoria
Piazza della Signoria is a square in Florence, before the Palazzo Vecchio. It's named after the Palazzo della Signoria, also known as Palazzo Vecchio. This square is the historical center of the Florentine Republic and still serves as the city's main place for politics. It's a popular meeting place for both locals and tourists, near Palazzo Vecchio, Piazza del Duomo, and the entrance to the Uffizi Gallery.
-
Ponte Vecchio
The Ponte Vecchio is a medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River in Florence, Italy. It is the only bridge in Florence that was spared from destruction during World War II. The bridge is known for the shops built along it, a practice that used to be common. Initially, the shops were occupied by butchers, tanners, and farmers, but today they are leased to jewelers, art dealers, and souvenir sellers.

Florence Cathedral
The Florence Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower, is in Florence, Italy. It started being built in 1296 and was finished in 1436. The dome was designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. The outside of the basilica is decorated with multicolored marble panels in green, pink, and white. Also, it has a 19th-century Gothic Revival front designed by Emilio De Fabris.
The cathedral complex in Piazza del Duomo includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. These three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic center of Florence and are a big tourist attraction of Tuscany. The basilica is one of Italy's biggest churches, and until the development of new structural materials in the modern era, the dome was the biggest in the world. It remains the biggest brick dome ever built.
