The oldest bridge in Florence and mini prints for your home

Florence is the capital of Tuscany. It is famous for its art, history and catherdrals. One of the most iconic catherdrals is Duomo, it took up to 140 years to complete. The Catherdral has the largest masonry dome in the world and was built on top of a small church, it also has a terracotta-tiled dome. Florence has one of the oldest bridges Ponte Vecchio, it is a medieval stone arch bridge. There have been shops on Ponte Vecchio since the 13th Century, there used to be a variety of shops including butchers and fishmongers. In 1593 Ferdinand decided that goldsmiths and jewellers would be the only ones allowed to have their shops on the bridge as a way to improve the wellbeing of everyone including their own. The current bridge was rebuilt after a flood in 1345.
