Plaza de la República (Florencia) (Piazza della Repubblica (Firenze))
La plaza de la República (en italiano: Piazza della Repubblica; antiguamente Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II) es una plaza porticada, situada en el Centro Histórico de Florencia, de forma rectangular, de unos 75 x 100 metros.
Es el resultado más conocido de la época del Risanamento ("Saneamiento"), cuando el urbanismo de la ciudad fue redefinido como consecuencia de Firenze Capitale, el cambio de la capital del Reino de Italia de Turín a Florencia en 1865.

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.

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
