The Church of San Miniato al Monte, the Church of San Salvatore al Monte, the monumental ramps designed by Giuseppe Poggi, piazzale Michelangelo, the Rose and Iris Gardens have all become UNESCO World Heritage sites. The extension of the historic centre was ratified today by UNESCO during the 44th session of the World Heritage Committee held online in Fuzhou, China.
“This is a historic day because we have demonstrated the extraordinary value of this part of Florence,” commented Dario Nardella, Mayor of Florence, who had announced the request to have this area of the city included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. “Altogether Florence will now vaunt more than 530 hectares of invaluable artistic, historic and environment value.”
