A Monumental View: Views from Piazzale Michelangelo
Piazzale Michelangelo, Florence's famous panoramic point, offers stunning city views and features bronze replicas of Michelangelo's works, including the iconic David.
Designed by architect Giuseppe Poggi during the 1870s urban renewal, it was intended as a monument to Michelangelo, with a loggia now serving as a cafe. Accessible via Viale Galileo, Viale Michelangiolo, or the Rompe del Poggi, it provides breathtaking vistas of Santa Maria del Fiore's dome. Nearby, Villa Bardini's gardens offer a serene escape.
