In
1865, when Florence became capital of the new kingdom of Italy
(after centuries as capital of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany),
extensive alterations were made to the smallish but extremely
beautiful renaissance city. It was at this time that neo-classical
palazzo now occupied by the CAROLUS HOTEL, was built, between the
Dominican convent of San Marco and the Fortezza da Basso, near the
Orti di Barbano. |
