FLORENCE, ITALY – The extraordinary opening of the Tower of San Niccolò goes between 24 of June and 30 of September 2016, everyday, with guided tours in Italian and in English every half hour.
This year, for the first time, even torre della Zecca and Porta Romana will be open to the public in specific days.
The Tower of San Niccolò, an imposing evidence of the city’s set of walls built between the Thirteenth and Fourteenth centuries, offers a wonderful view of Florence and enables to understand the several building phases of the walls and the defensive and commercial purposes of the doors, inserted – as the historian Villani writes – «ogni dugento braccia di muro… per fortezza e bellezza della città» (every 200 Florentine arms… for the strength and beauty of the city).
Everyday 5 p.m.- 8 p.m. (last tour at 7:30 p.m.). Reservation is suggested. In case of rain the tours will be cancelled. Guided tours every 30 minutes, € 4,00 per person.

I’ve been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found
any interesting article like yours. It is pretty
worth enough for me. In my view, if all
website owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.
