Best Places For Selfies

You can take beautiful selfies in your area at:

  • Piazza della Signoria
  • Piazza della Repubblica
  • Ponte Vecchio
  • Pitti Palace
  • The Boboli Gardens

The imposing Palazzo Vecchio overlooks the Piazza della Signoria which has been the heart of political life here since the 14th century. It was the site of significant victories including the Medici’s return in 1530 and Savonarola’s instigation of the Bonfire of the Vanities where he himself was burned at the stake in 1498 after the Inquisition declared him a heretic. On the piazza, a marble circular inscription depicts the spot where he was burned and it is now one of the top places to take selfies near you.

The Piazza della Repubblica has been the city’s heart since Roman times. The Colonna della Dovizia also known as the Abundance Column marks the meeting of the Cardus And Decumanus Maximi as well as the location of the Roman forum. The current column was built in 1431 but the figure atop it is a replica and the original may be seen at the Cassa di Risparmio bank on via dell’Oriuolo.

Until 1218 the Ponte Vecchio was also known as Old Bridge and was the only bridge across the Arno. After a flood in 1345 the existing bridge was erected. It was the only bridge across the Arno that the fleeing Germans did not burn during World War II.

The beautiful Boboli Gardens are located behind Palazzo Pitti. The wide green area which is split into sections in a regular pattern is a true open-air museum with antique and Renaissance statues, caves including the famous one made by Bernardo Buontalenti, and large fountains. Needless to say it offers many great spots to take stunning pictures in your area.

Where To Buy Camera Phones
