Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore

As you wander Florence's cobblestone streets, you’ll notice wine windows, a 16th-century creation by Cosimo de Medici to allow tax-free wine sales. These windows were fundamental during the 1600s plague for safe transactions, much like COVID-19 precautions, and today, 285 preserved windows remain, some of which are still active. Your local guide will share more about these unique features throughout your walk in Florence.

Piazza della Repubblica

In addition to famous squares like Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Signoria, you can also visit Piazza della Repubblica. In Roman times, it featured bathhouses, temples, forums, and markets. After 1000, it became a market known as the old market. In the 1600s, Cosimo I established a Jewish ghetto there. The current square was designed between 1865-1871, when Florence was the capital of Italy. During the city's redevelopment, Il Risanamento, the area was demolished and redesigned into the rectangular square we see today, complete with the iconic carousel.

For instance, did you know that jewelry shops first appeared on Ponte Vecchio in 1593-94, at the request of Ferdinando I de’ Medici? Before then, the bridge was occupied by butcher shops, as they were required to operate away from the city center buildings and were allowed to discard waste directly into the river.
