The first place we went after lunch was Cappelle Medicee. Medici family was the famous family in Florence in the old days. They were so powerful that even a few Pope were come from Medici family. It is also said that the Renaissance was actually paid by Medici family. There are a lot of building related to them and Cappelle Medicee is one of them.

The next one is Cathedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore. The landmark church of Florence. From the last picture you will see a long queue lining up to the roof of this church.

hangchoi:
The church inside has nothing special. Only there is a painting in the dorm area but we cannot get close to take picture.

hangchoi:
Next one is the Piazza di Santa Maria Novella and its Basilica. The landmark church there as the full name of the train station of Florence is Firenze Santa Maria Novella.

Piazza della Signoria, I had been there in 2006. Not much change, still crowded with tourists. There is a replica of David at the city hall entrance.  Medusa is still there too, just opposite of the David.

hangchoi:
Fontana del Porcellino. Someone says that if you put a coin inside its mouth and if your coin does not slip down, you will make a good fortune. Hmmm, I saw a lot of tourists do this but failed. This is because there is a stream of water flowing out from its mouth. It seems the city is making a good fortune instead.
