Museo degli Innocenti
City Center, Florence & Countryside
"Did you know that Florence was home to the first orphanage in Europe? In the 1420s, Filippo Brunelleschi designed this efficient hospital to care for illegitimate children and orphans. Don't miss the terrace, which offers a stunning view of the Duomo!"
An early example of Renaissance architecture, Florence's Museo degli Innocenti originally served as one of the world's first orphanages. Today, it's a museum that showcases the institution's history and an impressive art collection. There's also a rooftop restaurant, which boasts delicious food and an unbeatable view of the Duomo.
