Palazzo Vecchio


While your admire Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo or from Fiesole your eyes inevitably stop on buildings that, due to their beauty and grandeur, stand out from the rest: the church of Santa Croce, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Palazzo Vecchio

Palazzo Vecchio, which was built in the 13th century and in the origin was called "Palazzo dei Priori" or "Palagio Novo" (that is, new palace), is now Florence town hall and houses an important museum.

In its rooms are exhibited works by such important artists as Bronzino and Giorgio Vasari, Michelangelo and Donatello.

Moreover some commentators believe that in the Salone dei Cinquecento hides the Battle of Anghiari, a monumental painting that Leonardo da Vinci was not able to finish due to various problems, which is said to having been covered with other murals or hidden behind new walls.

The National Geographic Society has been searching the masterpiece for some years and the number of experts who believe in the existence of the painting, if nothing else because of the cryptic words - "Cerca trova", that is, seek and you will find - that Vasari wrote on a fresco he painted in the same hall, is increasing.

Not only inside Palazzo Vecchio are plenty of things to see. With its 94-metre tall tower, Florence so-called lay bell tower, the building stands in Piazza della Signoria, next to the Loggia dei Lanzi and the Uffizi Gallery and in proximity to Ponte Vecchio.

So, if you read an ad for a holiday apartment in Florence overlooking Palazzo Vecchio you should seize the opportunity and rent it.
