Experience the Renaissance in HistoriCity: Florence, a city builder that invites you to develop a bustling Tuscan metropolis in the aftermath of the Black Plague.

Place housing, commerce, religion, and civic structures to attract new citizens and grow your workforce. Upgrade production buildings to fulfill your citizens' demands, and watch their housing merge and improve. Manage resources and finances to construct iconic landmarks and recruit renowned masters with powerful abilities.

Advance through a series of historically inspired narrative missions and grow your city from a humble settlement into a thriving center of Renaissance life.

Shape Your Narrative

Define the composition of your growing metropolis by establishing residential, commercial, religious, and mixed-use districts. Progress through a full set of historical missions that allow you to experience the moral purge of the Bonfire of the Vanities, the failed assassination of the Pazzi Conspiracy, and the civic upheaval leading to the exile of the Medici.

Weave Your Economy

Design production networks and distribute goods efficiently. Hire and fire individual workers as you connect farms, workshops, and urban industries into interdependent supply chains that respond to the evolving needs of your growing population. Establish trade relationships, manage taxes and wages, and balance spending to expand and grow.

Evolve Your Housing

Improve residences automatically by meeting inhabitants' ever-expanding needs. Simple houses become larger and more elaborate, while prosperous neighborhoods organically grow denser as improved homes merge into larger apartments. Over time, distinct districts emerge, from bustling city centres to quieter, more spacious rural outskirts.

Influence Your Society

Engage with a fully simulated Renaissance population going about their daily routines. Staff brothels and taverns for heads' of household entertainment, place Podestà offices in high-crime areas to catch and punish citizens who turn to a life of crime, and upgrade your churches to host elaborate Easter services for the entire community every spring.

Indulge Your Ears

Enjoy a full soundtrack of period-accurate music from renowned Italian composers such as da Milano, Dalza, and Capirola, expertly performed by internationally acclaimed lute virtuoso Elizabeth Pallett. Vibe out to twenty-three tracks of Pallett's expressive playing that bring the atmosphere of Renaissance Florence to life.
