FLORENCE CATHEDRAL The cathedral of Florence is built as a basilica, having a wide central nave of four square bays, with an aisle on either side. The chancel and transepts are of identical polygonal plan, separated by two smaller polygonal chapels. The whole plan forms a Latin cross. The nave and aisles are separated by wide pointed Gothic arches resting on composite piers. Originally the building was started in the 5th century as another church and grew and grew over the centuries to a cathedral. By the 13th century work had started on it to become an even greater building. GALLERIA DELL’ACCADEMIA The Galleria Dell’Accademia Di Firenze, or “Gallery of the Academy of Florence”, is an art museum in Florence. It is best known as the home of Michelangelo’s sculpture David. Without a doubt, this masterpiece of white marble sculpture is what first attracts all visitors to visit the Accademia Gallery. Simply take your time, wander around the gallery and browse at the masterpieces painted by world famous artists. Imagine the length of time it took to paint these works of art, appreciate the colour, style and finished product. PALAZZO VECCHIO The Palazzo Vecchio is the town hall of Florence. It overlooks the Piazza della Signoria with its copy of Michelangelo’s David statue as well as the gallery of statues in the adjacent Loggia dei Lanzi. As it happens Michelangelo’s real statue stood at the entrance from its completion in 1504 to 1873, before it was moved to the Accademia Gallery. 1299, the commune and people of Florence decided to build a palace that would be worthy of the city’s importance. In addition that would be more secure and defensible in times of turbulence for the magistrates of the commune.
