Attractions

There are several attractions in the Florence area you might like to visit.  Our attractions also fall into the historic markers category, which has a slightly different listing (some sites are not necessarily "attractions" and vice versa).  We also have a large list of historic markers around (or very near) Florence.  While all of the historic markers could qualify as a historic site, often there is nothing other than a marker left to see.
