Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy

            This view shows a close-up of a feature of the ground floor facade of the Palazzo Vecchio on the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy. Hercules, a figure from a  sculpture by Bandinelli, rises in the foreground

The Palazzo Vecchio is considered the most important civic monument in Florence. The central nucleus of the building was erected by Arnolfo di Cambio between 1299 and 1304.

It has the appearance of a fortress, topped by a huge open gallery, from which rises the slender tower known as the Arnolfo tower. In the seventeenth century, Palazzo Vecchio became the home of the Medici family.
