| This is the facade (front wall) of the Cathedral (Duomo) in Florence. It is relatively new, having been designed in the late 1800's. The Cathedral itself was begun at the end of the 13th century and took about six hundred years to complete. |  |

This particular bridge known as the Ponte Vecchio or Old Bridge has existed from the 14th century. Since the 16th century, there have been small exclusive shops dealing with gold, silver, and jewelry all along its length. |
