FLORENCE - THE BAPTISTRY

Surprisingly, we'd never been inside the Baptisity in all our visits to Florence. Sometimes we'd been with guests who only had time for the quick tour of Florence, and other times we'd revisited favorite spots like the Bargello and just never made the time for the Baptistry. The goal of this trip was to visit some of the places we'd missed.

As you can see, the mosaics are stunning!

VIDEOS FROM FLORENCE

On our recent visit to Florence we cam across an organ recital in a beautiful small church,



visited the Baptistry for the first time,



hung out in the piazza between the Duomo and the Baptistry,



and of course enjoyed some cheese and wine (and the view!) from our terrace,



It was a wonderful visit – photos and details to follow!
