A square for the Master - Piazzale Michelangelo Jun 21, 2006

Built in honor to Michelangelo, is located in the top of a hill, which makes you able to get a gorgeous view of the city.

This place is very well known because of the panoramic views of Florence and the Arno valley. This square is a popular spot with locals and tourists.

You can find copies of Michelangelo’s works, including David and the Medici chapel sculptures from San Lorenzo.

Although is a long climb to arrive there, it's a nice spot to enjoy one of the most beautiful views of the city, so every single step is 100% worth.

…from one point atop the Duomo bell tower yesterday are only improved upon by crossing the Arno river and ascending high(ish) to Piazzale Michelangelo. This spacious viewing terrace sat up on the hillside offers dreamy views back over the whole city and along a significant length of the Arno in both directions of its course. I think the finest scenic photographic opportunities in Florence are probably… Florence : The genius of Michelangelo amongst other things...

The most amazing part of the tour was at the top of the hill or the Piazzale Michelangelo. This is a view of Florence NOT to be missed. After the tour I headed home exhausted. I spent the remainder of the afternoon hanging out with the Chilean couple and others at the hostel. A guy named Brandon even lent me his clippers… Florence - Italy
