Piazzale Michelangelo

Coming from Firenze city center one just have to cross one of the bridges over the Arno River and take a short walk up to Piazzale Michelangelo – you will be rewared with the most spectacular view over Florence.

Built in 1869 on a hill at the south bank of the river by Guiseppe Poggi. At this time Florence was the capital of Italy and tried to renew the city neighbourhoods ( “Risanamento”). Riverside walkways (“Lungarni”) and broader streets (like the french boulevard) were built along the Arno  – and  a square with panoramic terraces dedicated to Michelangelo.
