The Baptist Church of St. John of Florence is located in the Cathedral Square of Florence, opposite the famous Cathedral of Our Lady of the Hundred Flowers and the Giotto Bell Tower. The Baptist Church has three bronze gates with very fine reliefs on the doors, which are called the Gate of Paradise by Michelangelo. The exquisite reliefs attracted many tourists to take pictures, and they were simply surrounded by a large circle. It is said that the interior decoration of the Baptist Church is also extremely exquisite, with many sculptures and murals inside, but unfortunately there is no chance to visit it. This Baptist Church is where many Renaissance leaders are baptized. Also a baptism hall for all Florence Catholics, famous locally

The Two Towers, "Le due torri", both of them leaning, are the symbol of Bologna, and probably the most prominent one. Until 1919, there were actually 5 towers in this square. Bologna was always known as the city of towers, “La Turrita”, as over the centuries, particularly between the 12th and the 13th century, the city had possibly over 200 towers.Almost all them were tall (the highest being 97 m), defensive stone towers. There are now 25 towers left without counting the hundreds of bell towers in the city.The taller one of the pair is called the Asinelli while the smaller but more leaning tower is called the Garisenda. Their names derive from the families which are traditionally credited with constructing them between 1109 and 1119.The Asinelli Tower was used by the scientists Giovanni Battista Riccioli (in 1640) and Giovanni BattistaGuglielmini (in the following century) for experiments to study the motion of heavy bodies and the earth rotation. Bologna’s towers were cited several times by Dante in the Divine Comedy and The Rhymes (a confirmation of his stay in Bologna), and by Goethe in his Italian Journey. The Two Towers have also been the subject of an eponymous poem by Giosuè Carducci as part of the Barbarian Odes. Charles Dickens wrote about the towers in his Pictures from Italy.In World War II, between 1943 and 1945, it was used as a sight post: during bombing attacks, four volunteers took post at the top to direct rescue operations to places hit by Allied bombs.Later, a RAI television relay was installed on top.Architect Minor Yamasaki is thought to have been inspired by the Towers when designing the World Trade Center during the 1960s.

The Palazzo del Podestà, in Piazza Maggiore, was the first site of the city government exercised by the mayor, his judges and officials. The Torre dell’Arengo was immediately erected alongside, a bell tower used to muster the citizens in the case of extraordinary events.Of great interest is the Voltone del Podestà with its unique acoustic effect that permits visitors to speak to each other from the opposite corners of the archway.The facade was added by Giovanni II Bentivoglio and Ginevra Sforza during their “reign” of the city. On the arches you can spot the symbols of all the noble families (and the guilds) that participated and paid, some no longer exist.

The square of Machollère is located in the center of Bologna, built in 1200, to the north is two medieval palaces built in the early 13th century, and to the south is the cathedral of St. Peterronio, which was built in 1390 AD and has not yet been completed. In the middle of the square is an open-air cinema with movies (and advertisements) every night. Bologna is my favorite Italian city, with simple and elegant architecture, clean and tidy. There is the first university in Europe, the University of Bologna. Bologna is a wealthy city, Ferrari, Maserati and other famous car brands were born here.

Very square square, the surrounding buildings are also very square. When I went there, the carousel actually occupied a prominent position in the center of the square. There were a lot of exteriors. The cafes were scaled and it was easy to find.

The Baptist Church is located on the west side of the cathedral, in a white octagonal classical Romanesque building, and the famous "gate of heaven" is here. The bell tower next to it is 88 meters high, 13.7 meters square, divided into 4 floors of different architectural styles, forming a beautiful landscape

There is a statue of a standing person in the center of the square, surrounded by lawns, very right benches, there are many pigeons here. This is a low-key civic-level small square, not many people, very clean, is a good place to rest.

Legend has it that half of the halls that are not built will be built. It feels good if they are built. It feels that the front shape is rough, like a large factory, the murals here are quite exquisite, and the style of the building is very good.
