THE CENTRAL LOCATION OF PIAZZA DELLA REPUBBLICA IN FLORENCE:
The beating heart of the city and a testament to the Ancient Chivalric Tournament
WELCOME
Welcome to the beating heart of Florence, the magnificent Piazza della Repubblica. This square is not just a meeting place for Florentines, but it also represents the historical and cultural center of the city. And if you are looking for a unique experience that combines history, art, and fun, then you are in the right place. But why is Piazza della Repubblica so special? And how can it enrich your visit to Florence? I think we should find it together.
A DIVE INTO HISTORY
It toured Lombardy before arriving in Florence, where it was set up in Piazza Strozzi, then Piazza Santa Croce, and finally in Piazza della Repubblica, where it has now resided for 22 years.
Piazza della Repubblica is not just any square. It's where Florence was born and flourished. Walking among its historic buildings and monuments, you will feel immersed in centuries of history. But that's not all. The square is also the perfect place to take a break, sip a coffee in one of its historic cafes, or perhaps enjoy a horse carousel ride. This carousel isn't just for fun, but a historical testament to the ancient chivalric tournaments. The tradition of real horse carousels has deep roots, especially in Tuscany, where nobles challenged each other in equestrian competitions to prove their worth and skill.
THE HEART OF TUSCAN TRADITION
The horse carousel in Piazza della Repubblica is not just an attraction for tourists, but a symbol of Tuscan tradition and history. Every time the carousel starts moving, it brings to mind the times when knights in armor challenged each other in bloodthirsty duels, under the eyes of princesses and ladies. Just as back then, even today the horse carousel captures the attention of both young and old, offering a one-of-a-kind experience.
