Florentine Tower
Avoid Florence’s queues - head instead for West Yorkshire. The 220ft clock tower of Bradford City Hall is a perfect copy of the Campanile bell tower of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. The Victorian tower dominates the city but isn’t open to the public. It was built by wool barons were desperate to out-do rival town halls in Leeds and Halifax. Latin replicas are also dotted round the city; the Devere warehouse in Vicar Lane is a copy of an Italian Palazzo and The Telegraph and Argus building replicates an Italian merchant’s palace.
