From 1865 to 1870 the city was the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. Florence lies on the Arno River and has a population of around 400,000 people. Florence experiences a warm temperate continental climate. The summers are hot and humid. Rainfall occurs in winter accompanied by snowfall.
A center of medieval European trade and finance, the city is often considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and was long ruled by the Medici family. Florence is also famous for its magnificent art and architecture. It is said that, of the 1,000 most important European artists of the second millennium, 350 lived or worked in Florence. The city has also been called the Athens of the middle Ages.
The historic Center of Florence was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO in 1982.

The city tries to keep the medieval appearance and all its tourist places can be visited for people by feet: the famous Ponte Vecchio, the bridge covered with stores, the unmistakable duomo of Florence, Piazza della Signoria, where the Palazzo Vecchio is and the chapels of Medici. The lovers of the pictures should visit the gallery of Uffizi, one of the most important collections of pictures in the world.
As you can imagine, the city has a lot of places to visit and discover a new mean for the art and culture. I would love to travel to Florence one day to know everything and understand the meaning of Renaissance.
If we compare this city with Cuenca we'll notice that exist differences and some similarities. Both are cultural cities and small cities from its country. Florence is older than Cuenca and its culture belongs to other point in the time.
