Florence city center is compact and delicate, and no imagination of so big. Walking in the streets of Florence, and soon will be able to feel the city texture. Compared with the modern urban planning in the region filling building addition, Florence is more like the subtraction, as if cut roads and public space in the original building in close. In section, single building style harmony compatible together, giving the whole space, so that the whole city is harmonious and full of rhythm.

Overlooking the whole cityOverlooking the whole city

In the city center, stands a hundred famous cathedral, is the Florence city texture source. In the city of all the buildings, which are independent and not lonely. A variety of shops, restaurants and hotels defines the entire Cathedral Square boundary. The daily life of the atmosphere and the Cathedral of divine light of harmony and unity, as if in the declaration of Florence's religious culture and secular life can melt.

ItalyThe church is more or less a family business, Florence is no exception. Compared with Chinese temples, churches and religious ancestral temple means, most churches were built by the rich family support. The Duomo is built by Florence was the richest of Medici patronage. During the 175 years of the construction process, the church also witnessed the Medici family transition from successful businessmen to Florence real ruler.

However, the Duomo is not completely indulge in self-admiration in power, it is also a symbol of the people's victory. The Cathedral of the original intention was to celebrate the citizens and nobles in the political struggle in victory. Then the cathedral patron Giovanni Medici is also because of the political stand in the side of the people and seized power.
