From the regional World / Stories
Florence grew from an Arno crossing, Etruscan routes and a Roman military-style settlement whose street grid still informs the centre.
Look beyond Renaissance façades to understand why Florence stands here. Etruscans used the ford near the Mugnone and Arno, while their fortified centre developed on the hill at Fiesole. In 59 BC Julius Caesar founded Florentia for former soldiers; its cardo and decumanus meet near today's Piazza della Repubblica. San Miniato al Monte recalls the city's early Christian history.
