Europe tour diary-Florence

5 may Sunday sunny

Leave Pisa, bus transfer us to Florence.

It is the cultural city in Central Italy, as the cradle of Renaissance Italy is famous. In 1506, the Renaissance of "three" da Vinci, Michelangelo and. Rafael party in the city, as throughout the history of art. As-MO to Florence Firenze roller printed versions, it was like a sparkling Emerald.

To Florence, the first to visit the place is the Cathedral of our Lady of the flowers.

It was built in the 13th century, and the Vatican, St. Peter's Cathedral, London St. Paul's Cathedral, and listed as the world's three major Dome Church. 85 meters high Bell Tower, a large dome, was the largest dome building. The Church walls with pink, white, pink and green marble, the magnificent Grand, set in a stately and elegant (Figure 1, 2, 3, 4). You can take the lift or visit 464 step to the top of the tower. Unfortunately, it is qualified 12345

Free time, I'm afraid to even go in time too late, didn't go in, took some picture, you go souvenir stalls, harvest.

Florence production of leather goods, fine workmanship as world, style novel, has many fine leather goods shop.

The tour took us to a total of three floors above and below the big shops, such as the main selling fur. Many travellers are bought leather trench coat, price is higher than the domestic Boutique to cheap, works and style is first-class, choose do not go wrong, very neat soft texture. Specific price I didn't mind, because I had no plans for this shopping, only point to buy small souvenirs of sporadic dollars, only look at others buying a share. If I have the opportunity again to Italy, and financially comfortable, maybe I'll buy one, than it is in the country to buy better value for money.

In the afternoon, our tour members are divided into two teams, one team, go shopping, another team to visit attractions.

I certainly belong to the latter. In the local guides, we go to the birthplace of Dante (Figure 5, 6, 7,), remains the only outside photos. The spots are a particularly interesting places: Let's kick on the outside there is also the head of Dante, the side like a novelty, is never seen (Figure 8). And then we went to the monarch Plaza, a stately buildings from its 94 m high Bell Tower next to the extension, very distinctive (Figure 9). It was once the residence of the Governor of the city, also known as the wechiau Palace, building decorated with population Department of badges with the city of Florence, a lion like. It was later the police headquarters, to 1865 become Italy's first national

One of the main Museum 678910 collection of sculpture.

The building, there are also some sculptures, of which there is a statue of the "David like" is a sculpture of Michelangelo's disciples. Monarch Plaza, there are riding the King of Italy like bronze (Figure 10). From the clock tower clock is visible, then time is 2: 40.

Arnold Creek bubbling from Florence city, the river flows through the stone bridge, cross-Strait is suspending hut landscape not vulgar.

The most famous is the Vichy Europe bridge, Xu Zhimo has it been touching depiction. This bridge was built in the 14th century, has now become a goldsmith Street. On the bridge, the pedestrian bustle. The tour took us to bridge Central, I stand at the bridgehead on the right qiaolan, 11121314 take right stone bridge and the scenery on both sides (fig 11), then left qiaolan, take left on both sides of the Qiao and scenery (Figure 12), left the bridge. Unfortunately I did not think it has more features, then have the opportunity to shoot the bridge itself, I didn't go to shoot. Fortunately, the last in the Michelangelo square overlooking the whole city, I inadvertently took this bridge of shadows. In this bustling pedestrian bridge, also there was a minor accident: since only the ability to take pictures, listen to guide me the time and place of collection, my old classmates go lost! and I like when in Venice. We had to walk along the Arno River, the very far to find less personal, so let us stop along the tour, where they waited for him to find her. We waited 40 minutes, finally see Guide to show back to her. At the time of waiting, I found a better lens: distance is derricks of the National Museum and the Museum of the statue of 4, 5, near the passenger is crowded, people on the right is a row of pillars, the corridor there is a line between the portrait sculpture, the whole scene very spectacular (Figure 13). At the time of waiting, I am also of the 2 euro bought a small souvenir: a small oval with figured cloisonne, gold-plated jewelry box lid has Florence Cathedral of our Lady of the flowers. The jewelry box is sold everywhere in Florence, but a fine workmanship is rough, some boxes with lids are not covered, but I bought this work just fine, so just right lid cover.

The tour takes us to the Holy Cross Church, let us here for a long stay.

The Cathedral of Florence for interesting's oldest square, the square there are also many pigeons (Figure 14), the Church's right in front of the statue of Dante's Memorial (Figure 15, 16). Church of Dante, Michelangelo Hall, Rossini and others, tomb and Donat Otello in good wood carvings and other artistic treasures (fig. 17, 18). Since this time, I entered the Church, took over the altar and the form of colour, good wood carving (Figure 17), also took a photo of a piece of wax on top of Notre Dame as light (Figure 18). Out of the Church, we stroll around the square shopping, Italy's desserts and ice cream are famous, but the price is not cheap, will leave Italy tomorrow, don't eat no chance to eat, then bite, try 5 euros a small copy of confections and 1.6 euros a result also of ice cream, and didn't leave much impression. In this square, I also of 3 euro bought second Pocket photo book (folded), each with 32 pages, a Florence, one is Tuscany's monuments and the countryside. In the collection, I found the Church, its Street and next to the clock tower of the Church, the distribution of the screen is very high, they shoot down (Figure 19).

Finally, we walk on the city's central square, Piazza Michelangelo stands a huge "David like" (duplicate)

(Figure 20), its foot on the platform lies four statue: "daylight", "night" and "morning" and "stunning" imitations. Unfortunately, because at that time to take pictures of people simply have too many covers of sight, I had to abandon them, elevation lens, just like "clap" David. Standing on the square top overlooking Florence, all the good and bad sides Arnold River, in the heart of all shapes of the stone, especially the Vichy Europe bridge, the Cathedral of our Lady of the flowers of great red Dome, Florence Museum of the Bell Tower. A a show here (Figure 21). This is the old, beautiful Florence, we tell the story of its old historical and monumental cultural monument ...
