It is a city located in the north of central Italy, where it is close to Milan, Rome and Venice. Today it has more than 378,239 inhabitants.
During medieval times it bordered as a center of trade and culture for all of Italy. However, the history of the city of Florence does not begin in the Middle Ages, but was founded by Julius Caesar in 59 BC.

The religious monuments are undoubtedly part of the typical landscape of the cradle of the Renaissance. Among them, we highlight the Cathedral of Santa Maria della Flor and the Basilica of Santa Croce, famous for their peculiar and striking architectural style. The latter, inside, houses the so-called pantheon of artists, where you will find paintings by personalities such as Donatello or Giotto.
