Piazza della Repubblica è una piazza del centro storico di Firenze di forma rettangolare grande circa 75 m per 100 m. È il risultato più conosciuto dell'epoca del "Risanamento", quando fu ridefinita l'urbanistica della città in seguito all'insediamento della capitale del Regno d'Italia a Firenze (dal 1865 al 1871).
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
