The Piazza della Signoria was the city's center of political power for centuries. It is dominated by the Palazzo Vecchio, where the Medici resided before moving to the Palazzo Pitti. In front of the entrance to the palazzo is a famous group of sculptures, including a marble copy of Michelangelo's "David".

Absolute must do on the way through Florence. In particular, the statues (including a marble copy of Michelangelo's David) add to the charm of the square.

This central square is famous not only for its imposing buildings and elaborate statues, but also for its deep-rooted history that dates back to the Middle Ages.

The square is dominated by the majestic Palazzo Vecchio, which once served as the seat of government and now houses a museum. Its battlements and sturdy tower tell stories of power, intrigue and Florence's political importance in the past. Just outside the Palazzo Vecchio stands a copy of Michelangelo's David, which seems to form a permanent sentinel, highlighting the city's artistic mastery.

Another striking feature of the square is the Fountain of Neptune, a work by Bartolomeo Ammannati depicting the sea god Neptune. This impressive work of art symbolizes the Medici's power over the sea and the importance of water in Florentine culture and history.

A popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike, Piazza della Signoria offers a fascinating insight into the heart and soul of Florence. It is surrounded by other important landmarks, including the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most famous art galleries in the world, making the square an unmissable destination for art lovers and history buffs.
