    Hiking

    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.
