Florence City, Italy, Europe Trip .

After the photo shoot at Michelangelo Square descended in the city .
Florence is considered "the cradle of Renaissance" because of its Monuments , Churches , Buildings and Squares. There are roughly,(only considered "major" given) :-
20  Religious architectures,
18 Museums,
14 Villas, mainly all over & outside city built by Medici s,
2 Arches,
11 Palaces,
8 Parks, and
19 Squares.
All considered tourist attractions .
We saw
one square of one palace (Piazza della Signoria, or Square of the Lordship),
one church( Florence Cathedral or Basilica of Santa Maria) and
one Baptistery ( San Giovanni).
plus what we saw in panoramic tour.
It was worth it.
If you have to see cover all of Europe & all of Scotland in all of18 days, may be that is all you have time for :-).
Now few photos of what we did see :-
