6Palazzo Vecchio

The Palazzo Vecchio is located in the heart of Florence and serves as the city’s town hall. This Italian palace overlooks Piazza dell Signoria which features a copy of Michaelangelo’s The David statue.

The Italian palace was built in 1299 and has been added over time. A tower with a clock was later added and replaced with a replica in 1667. In 1865, the Palazzo Vecchio served as the seat of Italy’s government, while Florence served as the temporary capital of Italy. Today it houses the mayor’s offices and City Council.
