Die Piazza della Repubblica in Florenz ist ein im historischen Zentrum der Stadt gelegener, rechtwinkeliger Platz im Ausmaß von etwa 75 × 100 m, der als typisches Beispiel der städtebaulichen „Sanierungsanstrengungen“ der kurzen Hauptstadtperiode zwischen 1865 und 1871 und der darauf folgenden Gründerzeit gilt.
Lovely looking public square in the heart of city, enclosed by baroque style buildings, cafes and restaurants. Took a couple of snaps whilst on an early morning stroll around central Florence.
Beautiful square with a lot of shops, restaurants, the carousel, and quite a few Christmas lights. Really beautiful scene at night
The church is mind-blowing. Visited on Christmas Night so there was a programme which was very peaceful.
In Roman times, Piazza della Repubblica was the site of Florence's forum, a central location and a place where people met to shop and socialize. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the square was redesigned when Florence became the capital of a reunited Italy, albeit briefly. Nowadays, it's still a vibrant meeting place for locals and tourists alike.
Beautiful and very busy square. There’s a gateway to the high end shopping street. Nice fancy restaurants you will find along the sides of the square and a merry go round.
Had a very nice QUALITY carrousel. The street vendors are discreet and do not harass you to buy stuff, there is plenty of space to walk around and there is a cotton candy stand. A few nice cafe restaurants near by
