Designed by architect Giuseppe Pogg on a hill overlooking the historic centre of Florence, this square is dedicated to Florence’s most famous artist. Copies of his most iconic sculptors decorate the square. But people usually come here for the panoramic views the square offers over the city. The neo-classical loggia of the square today has a restaurant, a building originally intended to house a collection of Michelangelo’s works. Some of the iconic sights visible from the square are the Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, the Palazzo Vecchio, and the Bargello. The backdrop of this view is dominated by the Tuscan hills around Florence.

It’s a beautiful place for more than the view; lined with pretty trees and flowering bushes. Vendors are usually selling their wares – souvenirs and snacks.
