The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is a magnificent ancient building that attracts tourists from all over the world every day. Through the building, everyone wants to know its story and history. It has stood here for hundreds of years. To this day, people still don’t know how the dome was built. It is still a great project that cannot be replicated. It is worth visiting. You can only feel the shock when you see it with your own eyes!
The museum was closed on the day I went there, and I was not nearby the next day, so I only missed the museum. I climbed the bell tower, which was not too tiring. The wire fence affected the view, but it was okay overall.

It is worth going. I went there at the end of June. There were many people but it was not crowded. The entire scenic area is the area within the city gate. There are no commercial social activities, only people taking pictures freely. It is worth revisiting the classic classroom architecture of student days. Special note: Pisa Airport is very small and the waiting time is not comfortable, but everything else is OK.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the bell tower of the Pisa Cathedral. Its unique tilted shape has become one of the most famous buildings in the world. From a distance, the Leaning Tower looks like a giant that is about to fall, but it has miraculously stood for hundreds of years. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is also a great place to take pictures. Many tourists choose to pose in front of the tower in various interesting ways and take photos with this miraculous tower. In addition to the Leaning Tower itself, buildings such as the Pisa Cathedral and the Baptistery are also worth seeing. These buildings and the Leaning Tower complement each other and together form a unique landscape of Pisa.

The Miracle Square is located in the northwest corner of Pisa, Italy. It is a walled area and is famous for the complex on the square. It contains four complexes: 1. Pisa Cathedral: Founded in 1063, it is a representative work of medieval Roman architecture. The mosaic decoration inside the church blends Byzantine style and forms a unique "Pizza Roman style". 2. Leaning Tower of Pisa ​: As an iconic building in the square, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a unique clock tower, which is tilted due to poor basic handling, becoming a world architectural wonder. ​ 3. St. John's Baptist Church: Built in 1153, it is a circular building known for its magnificent dome and exquisite decorative art. ​ 4. Cemetery Square ​: Built in the second half of the 13th century, it is a rectangular marble building with beautiful hollowed-out arcades and sculptures inside.
[Piazza dei Miracoli] A group of religious buildings are scattered on the large lawn of Piazza dei Miracoli, including the Cathedral (built from 1063 to the 13th century), the Baptistery (built from 1153 to the 14th century), the Bell Tower (i.e. the Leaning Tower of Pisa) and the Cemetery (built in 1174). Their exterior walls are all made of milky white marble. Each is relatively independent but forms a unified Romanesque architectural style. They are all masterpieces of art in the history of architecture. Piazza dei Miracoli is one of the centers of the essence of medieval art and has a profound impact on future architectural design. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located behind the Pisa Cathedral. Address: Pisa, Tuscany, Italy, the square where the Leaning Tower of Pisa is located.

The Uffizi Gallery is very classic, with a reasonable flow. The works of the masters are worth appreciating slowly. The Pitti Palace is worth seeing, and the interior is not hot. The Medici family is so powerful. The Boboli Gardens are just outside the Pitti Palace. I thought the Pitti Palace Gardens were far away from the Boboli Gardens, so I was still looking for the Boboli Gardens after walking around the Boboli Gardens. My family laughed to death. I accidentally went to the Castle Hill behind and encountered a heavy rain. It was quite pleasant to walk after the rain. I had the energy to continue to watch the sunset at the nearby Michelangelo Hill. We had seen it the day before and didn't go there
The Pitti Palace is well worth a visit. I went there with the Boboli Gardens. The Boboli Gardens are just average. But the Pitti Palace has a rich collection and should be on the must-see list.

Santa Croce is also a typical church in Florence, with white as the base color and green facade as the painted color pattern. The square of this church should be the largest among all churches in the city, so it is very formal.
Love is the seed of virtue. If you love, please love cleanly. The money under the moon has never given the toiling human beings a moment of peace. Go your own way and let others talk. Tribute to Dante🌹 This statue of Dante stands majestically in front of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence.

It is more useful to buy a combined ticket instead of buying a separate ticket for the bell tower. You may get out of breath after climbing the narrow stairs, but it is a great experience to see the cupola on the other side and Florence at the same time.
Florence is the capital of Tuscany, the birthplace of the Renaissance, and the cradle of modern Western art. This name makes people feel full of artistic sense. Walking in the old city that has not changed for hundreds of years, every corner exudes artistic charm. There are quaint and exquisite churches, famous museums, galleries and countless art treasures. Must-do things in Florence: 1 Climb to the top of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore: After walking up the 800 steps of the spiral narrow corridor in the church, the old city is in full view. 2. Climb Giotto's Bell Tower: The bell tower is next to the church. The best angle to take pictures of the red dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is here. After climbing the dome of the church, I climbed the 400 steps to the bell tower, and I was in good physical condition. 3. Uffizi Gallery: Buy a Chinese version of the guide at the entrance. It is beautifully printed with pictures and texts, which is very helpful for visiting. Do your homework in advance and choose famous collections to see: Paolo Uccello's "Battle of San Romano", Botticelli's masterpieces "Spring" and "The Birth of Venus", Titian's "Venus of Urbino" and "Flora", Raphael's "Canary Madonna" and "Strozzi Portrait", Leonardo da Vinci's "Annunciation" and "Adoration of the Magi", Caravaggio's "Medusa" and "Bacchus", etc. 4. Florence Academy Gallery: Michelangelo's "David" statue, a handsome man who must be seen in person. 5. Medici Chapel: Michelangelo's "Day" and "Night", "Morning" and "Dusk" statues. 6. Watch the sunset at Piazzale Michelangelo. The city of Florence, the Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River under the sunset are full of romantic poetry.

The moment I saw Michelangelo's "The Statue of David" was really shocked. The statue was tall but very delicate, with the muscle lines and expressions depicted extremely vividly, both powerful and quiet. Standing in front of the statue, you can clearly feel the tension of the momentum, as if he will move next second. No matter what perspective, it reveals amazing beauty and skills, which makes people stop for a long time. After seeing it, I really understood why it was hailed as the peak of the history of human sculpture.
David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculptures, made in marble by Italian artist Michelangelo between 1501 and 1504. The statue of David, a meter tall marble, was placed in a public square outside the Old Palace, the seat of Florence City, and was unveiled on September 8, 1504. The statue was moved to the Art Gallery of the Faculty of Florence in 1873 and was later replaced by a replica in its original location. There is also a bronze replica in the square of Michelangelo.

Palazzo Vecchio (Italian for "Old Palace") is the town hall of Florence, Italy. Overlooking Piazza della Signoria, it is the historic centre of Florence and the main site of the origins and history of the Florentine Republic, still maintaining its reputation as the political focal point of the city.
On the east side of the Piazza della Signoria, there is a very tall tower. Going up, you can overlook the city and see very beautiful roofs. The palace itself is square and has many sculpture collections inside. It is next to the Mercenary Pavilion.
