It is a city filled with a rich cultural, historical, and architectural past with plenty of modern day activities for students and travelers to enjoy as well. It was the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and many of Florence's great minds also aided in fueling the "Age of Discovery". Originally established by Julius Caesar, Florence dates back to 59 BC. Students who plan to study Italian courses in Florence should not miss the opportunity to view the city's best kept works of art and architecture; they can visit the magnificent Il Duomo Cathedral (officially known as Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore), stroll through the many piazzas, parks, and gardens, or visit one of the many small villages of the city, with their individual flare and flavors.
