How the Sun moves through the year in Florence
Sunrise: Northeast (56°). Sunset: Northwest (305°).
Sunrise: East-Southeast (123°). Sunset: West-Southwest (238°).
These bearings are calculated for Florence's coordinates rather than using a generic east/west rule. The shift between the two solstices shows how far the sunrise and sunset points move along the local horizon over the year.
Local horizon context
Elevated terrace with clear eastern exposure over the city
Hilltop town above Florence with wide horizon views
Official solar times assume an astronomical horizon. Buildings, trees, hills or other obstructions described in the local notes can change when the Sun first or last becomes visible from a particular street or viewpoint.
