Florence has a colorful history as a political and financial center, dominated for over 150 years by the Medici family and is also known as a fashion center.  Today, it's rich heritage in art can be enjoyed at several galleries and museums including the Uffizi and the Gallerie dell'Accademia, as well as the Pitti Palace (Palazzo Pitti).
