Florence

General view of Porta San Niccolo (San Niccolo Gate), 1324, by Andrea Orcagna, Piazza Giuseppe Poggi, Florence, Tuscany, Italy, pictured from the River Arno on June 10, 2007, in the afternoon, surrounded by trees. The Gate of San Niccolo, part of the city walls, guarded the river in partnership with the Zecca Gate on the opposite Northern bank of the Arno. It is the only gate whose height was not reduced during the siege of Florence, 1529. Florence, capital of Tuscany, is world famous for its Renaissance art and architecture. Its historical centre was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. Picture by Manuel Cohen. vertical
