A walk through the roses in Florence

Posted by Michelle on

On Wednesday morning we went for a walk up and through the Rose Garden to the Piazzalle Michelangelo. It was a misty, rainy day but still beautiful in its own way.

The River Arno from the Ponte Vecchio bridge.
The Ponte Vecchio bridge from the Oltrarno (other side of the Arno).
View of Florence city center from the garden, with a sculpture of a cat in the foreground.
Window sculpture of a ship framing the view.
Part of the City wall.
Greenhouse roofs.
Fish pond.
Greenhouses.
So sweet.

The garden is set up in terraces on the very steep hill that leads up to the Piazzalle.

Quite the corner!
Headed back toward town for lunch just outside one of the City’s gates.
