Florence

The largest building in Florence is called the Duomo which is I guess Italian for dome. This is the front of it and you can see it’s dome and gold ball in many of the cityscape photos.

 

It is what else, but a church of which there are huge Basilica practically on every corner.

This is obviously a of the river with just a little piece of the Ponte Vecchio  bridge on the left.

This is an evening view of one of the several bridges in the city.       

 

A typical street lined with open air eateries. 

Some streets are quite narrow and a few are wide.

A view of the city from a vista point. That dome shaped building is, yep, the Duomo.

This is a full view of the Ponte Vecchio bridge from the vista point. The bridge is famous because it has stores right on it.  Connie even help support the economy there today.

There is really no shortage of motor scooters here and they park them so nicely.

A store window display on the bridge.

This is typical pavement on many of the streets here.

Who said it’s not as crowded at this time of the year?

There is plenty of merchandise for all though and you can bet there is a church handy if you need one.
