Florence Statues

Florence is a beautiful city for a variety of reasons. What truly sets Florence a part is it's beautiful statues and sculptures. Of course, statues can be found throughout much of Europe, yet Florence is in a class of its own with so many remarkable works of art on just about every street corner.

Look to your left, look to your right or sometimes just look up and you will spot a masterpiece. Of course Florence has great museums, including the Uffizi and Bargello, plus the sculptures that are part of the Duomo and the Santa Croce churches, and the Medici collection at the Pitti Palace.

A couple of days roaming Florence is like an intense art seminar. Michelangelo's David is the most famous sculpture to be found in a city with statues by Donatello, Ammannati and Raphael, among others.
