Piazza della Signoria, Medieval square in Florence, Italy
The square extends over 220 meters near the Arno River, displaying sculptures including Neptune's Fountain and a replica of Michelangelo's David statue at its center.
The square witnessed the execution of Savonarola in 1498, marked by a marble circle inscription that indicates the exact location where he was burned at stake.
The Loggia dei Lanzi functions as an outdoor sculpture gallery, exhibiting Renaissance masterworks such as Perseus with Medusa's Head by Benvenuto Cellini.
Multiple guided walking tours depart from the square throughout the day, connecting visitors to main attractions like the Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Vecchio.
Twenty-one emblems of Florence's trade guilds remain visible on the Tribunale della Mercanzia building, reflecting the square's commercial importance during the Renaissance period.
