Florence

The Piazza del Duomo.
The church Duomo de Firenza was built in 1296. The details were unbelievable.





The Ponte Vecchio is a medieval stone arch bridge built in Roman Times approx 996. And still in pretty good shape :) The interior now lined with ultra expensive exclusive jewelry shops.



Michelangelo's David


Neptune 

Detailed columns


Amazing architecture ....how did they do that ???


Different than Holland....here parking spaces for your Vespa
