The Brown's European Christmas Vacation Part 2





Florence and Sienna
1) The Siena Duomo (Catholic Church) built in 1196.
2) The Ponte Vecchio is a medieval bridge over the Arno River. These are shops along the outside. Originally they were butcher shops, now they are filled with jewelry. We checked some out but decided that it was more important to eat rather than purchase a lovely gold piece.
3) The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, the Duomo (Catholic Church). Construction started in 1296 and finished in 1436.
