Other places of interest

In my previous posts,I mentioned some of the important and famous places in Florence. Florence, as you know is an art enthusiast's paradise, filled with museums and places of historical importance. Other places in Florence worth going are Ponte Vecchio, Museum of San Marco,Bargello National Museum.

Ponte Vecchio is an old bridge on River Arno, built in the fourteenth century, filled with jewellery shops on both the sides. A visit at night would be wonderful. The Italian designs are truly masterpieces.

The collection of the Bargello national museum features statues, including Bacchus by Michelangelo and Donatello’s David. The collection includes tapestries, furniture and other unique works of art.

The museum of San Marco contains many of the artistic works by Fra Angelico, a famous Renaissance artist known for his incredible frescoes.
