Florence displays Renaissance architecture and art at every street corner. The city features 15th-century buildings, churches with marble facades, and museums with old master paintings. The Arno River divides the city while Ponte Vecchio spans across. From the hills, views extend over the red roofs and the cathedral dome.
Italy presents architecture from two millennia, from Roman temples to Renaissance museums. The country features volcanic zones near Naples, stone dwellings in Matera, and canals in Venice. Religious structures include St. Mark's Basilica, while art museums display Renaissance collections.
