Historic Centre of Florence, World Heritage Site and old town in Florence, Italy.
The Historic Centre of Florence covers approximately 1,250 acres (505 hectares) and is enclosed by medieval walls from the 14th century, preserving its Renaissance urban layout.
Florence rose to prominence in the 15th and 16th centuries under the Medici family, becoming a center of Renaissance art and attracting masters like Michelangelo and Botticelli.
The city houses the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with Brunelleschi's massive dome, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Baptistry with Ghiberti's bronze doors.
The historic center is compact and walkable, with many streets closed to traffic, and entrance tickets to museums like the Uffizi Gallery can be booked in advance.
The Ponte Vecchio, a medieval bridge built in the 14th century, survived World War II intact and remains lined with jewelry shops today.
