    The Piazza della Signoria in Florence is one of the great central squares of the city and at the same time one of the most famous squares in Italy. At the time of the republic, it was the political and social center of the city with the Palazzo Vecchio. The place was named after the Signoria, the republican government of the city.

    Next to the Palazzo Vecchio is the Loggia dei Lanzi. The arcade was built between 1376 and 1382 by Benci di Cione and Simone di Francesco Talenti in the Gothic style. The building was originally used for rallies and receptions of the Republic of Florence and was later named after the mercenaries (Lanzichenecchi) Cosimo I de ’Medicis, who were housed here in the 16th century.

    The Feldherrnhalle in Munich was built on the model of the Loggia dei Lanzi. Source: Wikipedia

      The "Old Palace" was originally called "Palazzo della Signoria". After the guilds took power in the city, construction began in 1299. He served from 1314 as the seat of the Parliament of the Republic of Florence and as a dormitory of the deputies.
