It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982.

The city also contains numerous museums and art galleries, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Pitti Palace, amongst others, and still exerts an influence in the fields of art, culture and politics.

Florence is also an important city in Italian fashion, being ranked within the top fifty fashion capitals of the world; furthermore, it is also a major national economic centre, being a tourist and industrial hub. In 2008, the city had the 17th highest average income in Italy.

Impresionante vista de Florencia amigo! Me fascinan los colores que parecen de otro tiempo, el fondo montaso que hace resaltar el "skyline" de esta hermosa ciudad y ese trocito de r卲 que le da tanta vida. Una hermosura!
Gracias y saludos,

Hello Manuel. Here the beauty of the famous city of Florence is seen in an impressive way. Really makes everything very moody, which may be due to the colors. In addition, fine composition. Top

Hola Don Manuel,
hermosa y relajante vista de esta fant疽tica ciudad llena de arte y de historia, que nos ofreces mediante un eficaz encuadre.
La atmfera de la puesta de sol, los tonos naranja, la sugerente luz, las siluetas de la maravillosa arquitectura de la ciudad, el r卲 en primer plano y las montas al fondo, forman una composici con una gran belleza y que inspira una gran serenidad.
Un bello trabajo, amigo m卲.
Un abrazo,
Josep
