A trip to the stunning Marble Quarries is the best way to savour the atmosphere of this beautiful area. Enter a spectacular environment that is completely different from anything you may have seen before. The quarry is no respecter of human size, the quarry is the size of giants, ceilings dozens and dozens of metres high, huge halls, gigantic blocks and excavation equipment weighing up to 80 tonnes.

About Florence

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.

The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.

Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
