Enter Piazza della Signoria, the beating heart of Florence beneath the Palazzo Vecchio tower. Walk among the statues and fountain, then take a seat nearby to watch the square come alive.

📖

Full description

Piazza della Signoria has been the civic centre of Florence for centuries, dominated by the crenellated tower of the Palazzo Vecchio. The square works like an open-air museum, with statues, a large fountain and the sculpture-filled loggia at its edge, so there is plenty to notice in the architectural details.

Reviewers enjoy simply sitting with a coffee and watching the activity around them. It is free, open around the clock and easy to combine with the Uffizi next door.

Twenty minutes covers the highlights, though many visitors stay much longer.

Reviews

This square is extremely beautiful. It has an open-air gallery with sculptures of different kinds, a magnificent fountain, and so many small architectural details to notice. I highly recommend coming here and even resting in the shade while admiring the views
