WHAT’S THE DEAL ABOUT FLORENCE? Florence, Colorado is a quaint and beautiful mountain town more than 120 years old, and designated the Antiques Capital of Colorado, besides becoming well known for its art galleries. Across the street is a pastry shop with bakers from the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. Florence is just 10 minutes from Canon City, 35 minutes from Colorado Springs, 2 hours from Denver. We are near the beautiful Wet Mountains, Arkansas River, and we can see Pikes Peak.
