The largest of these is without doubt the Pitti Palace was the residence of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Today Palazzo Pitti hosts many exhibitions and museums, the most important in the city. Other main attractions are Oltrarno the Brancacci Chapel with its magnificent frescoes by Masaccio, Masolino and Filippino Lippi, Piazzale Michelangelo with its breathtaking view of Florence, the magnificent church of San Miniato (one of the highest points in the city and the best example of Romanesque Architecture in Tuscany) and the Ponte Vecchio, with its countless jewelers and goldsmiths. Inside Palazzo Pitti, the formal Boboli Gardens, an open-air museum of sculptures, some dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries.
Finally the Oltrarno is famous for the antiques market in Piazza Santo Spirito (served every day), its cafes and wine bars (Olio & Convivium, Bene Vobis, Caffè degli Artigiani ...) And the taverns that offer dishes of Tuscan cuisine (Santo Bevitore, Le 4 Leoni, Osteria del Cinghiale Bianco, Il Magazzino ...).
