Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio

Discovering Piazza della Signoria, Florence

Piazza della Signoria is Florence’s most important square, the core of the city’s daily cosmopolitan life and the center of its civic life. Located near the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio, just steps away from the banks of the Arno river, it’s a spacious light-filled square enriched by stupendous statues and a fountain, as well as refined cafès and restaurants, and dominated by Palazzo Vecchio, Florence’s town hall.
