The Galleria dell´Accademia in Florence is the most famous museum in the city because there you can find the famous David of Michelangelo. In 1873 the sculpture of the great Italian sculptor was taken to the museum from the Piazza della Signoria because there it was exposed and such work of art had to be protected and restored by specialists. But there are also other works by Michelangelo in the Galleria dell´Accademia like, for example, St. Matthew and the Prisoners. Previously the building was a group of convents and when it was converted into a museum, various works of the Fine Arts Academy and the Design Academy were taken there to be exhibited. Other famous artists that exhibit in this museum in Florence are Lorenzo Bartolini and Luigi Pampaloni. There are works made in marble, plaster, acrylic paintings on canvas and oil paintings. It´s important for the tourist to know that it´s open every day of the year except on Mondays, Christmas Day, New Year´s Day and May 1st. For that, organize your trip to get to Florence on Tuesday so that you cannot miss out on knowing one of the most amazing sculptures by Michelangelo, which is the great David.

Italy is famous for its churches and cathedrals and the one in Florence deserves a special mention. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is the third biggest in the world (behind the Vatican´s Saint Peter´s Basilica and Sant Paul´s in London). The Italian name of the cathedral comes from “duomo” meaning “God´s house”, and it´s located in the centre of Florence, rising enormously in the middle of the city with 90 metres in height. Built in 1412 it gets its name from “Santa Maria of the Flower” (in English) in reference to the lily flower, symbol of the city. Gothic and Renaissance style, the cathedral is a true work of art that the tourist cannot miss if visiting Florence.

The Palazzo Uguccioni is another of the beautiful palaces that are in the Piazza della Signoria in the centre of the city of Florence. It´s very beautiful and its architecture stands out from the rest, although it´s smaller than the rest.

The Uguccioni Palace has a classical style, although it mixes with late Roman and Renaissance. The façade of the building has a decorative aim and with its columns and windows it constitutes a classical and beautiful construction, special enough to take a photograph of it with that scenario behind.
