History Sneak Peek

You might recognize Florence for its notable economic, political and artistic achievements during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. However, the city's history goes much deeper. Actually, the exquisitely elegant Florence was founded in 59 BC to serve as heaven for military veterans. By whom? The (in)famous Julius Caesar himself! The foundations of the city are built according to a simple military design.


However, it was not for Florence to sit on the sidetracks of European history. Thanks to being situated on an exceptionally farmable land as well as on a major travel route between northern Italy and Rome, it grew into a bustling commercial hub. The city also became an important economic and banking center under the rule of the Medici banking family.


It's the rapid economic growth and development that created a perfect ambiance for artists and painters. This trend led to the establishment of the Accademia Gallery, formerly a school for aspiring Renaissance artists. Many of the most influential masters at the time gathered in the city to work on their masterpieces, including Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci.


These are nothing but crumbs of the stories waiting for you in the streets of Florence. Book our Duomo Florence tour today and get the best scoop on the historical events and mysteries. Its one of the best Florence tours to introduce you to the city without confusion!
