Welcome to the political heart of Renaissance Florence! This L-shaped square has been the center of Florentine power since the 14th century. Let's explore:
Palazzo Vecchio: Notice the imposing medieval palace with its 94-meter tower. Built in 1299, it served as both a fortress and city hall. The replica of Michelangelo's David marking the palace's entrance stands exactly where the original stood until 1873.
Neptune Fountain: Created by Ammannati (1565) to celebrate the Medici's maritime ambitions. Look for the face of Cosimo I de' Medici in Neptune's features.
Equestrian Monument of Cosimo I: Bronze masterpiece by Giambologna (1594), symbolizing the Grand Duke's absolute power.
