I don't drink coffee and my husband is not a fan of Starbucks.
We didn't stop but but it sure did look crowded.

A magnificent castle with a beautifully crafted brick facade; luckily the Starbucks sign is quite discreet Some of those restaurants (McDonald's) set up shop in buildings listed as "historical monuments," which are disfigured by their signage. McDonald's has no place on Florence's Piazza del Duomo, a UNESCO World Heritage site. But the fast-food chain persists, much to the dismay of residents and the municipality.

I love those windows, especially those on the top level. ~VVVV~

Love their coffee but it does look out of place. The curtain blowing out the window is a strong contrast to the orderly scene. V

Impressive brick work and design…agree with Helen…the Starbucks definitely looks out of place…BV

Cette architecture avec tous ces détails est très belle. V

graphically potent, and percolating with interest..the curtain in the breeze animates the scene..

The Starbucks looks a bit out of place in such a magnificent building, but you got a great shot of it. V.
