Palazzo Vecchio is located in Piazza della Signoria and is the seat of the Commune. It represents the best synthesis of 14th-century civilian architecture and one of the most popular civic buildings in the world.Originally called "Palazzo dei Priori", it became the "Palazzo della Signoria" in the 15th century, named after the main body of the Florentine Republic; in 1540 it became a Palazzo Ducale, when Duke Cosimo I de 'Medici made his residence; finally, the Old name assumed it after 1565 when Duke Cosimo's court moved to the "new" Palazzo Pitti.From 1865 to 1871 was the seat of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Italy, while today it houses the Mayor of Florence and various municipal offices. There is also a museum where you can visit the magnificent rooms where Agnolo Bronzino, Ghirlandaio and Giorgio Vasari worked, and where Michelangelo Buonarroti, Donatello, Verrocchio's works are exhibited.

    The Palace of Vico (Palazzo Vecchio, Italian for “Old Palace”) is the city hall in Florence, Italy. Overlooking the Plaza of the Lord (Piazza della Signoria), it is the historical center of Florence and the main site of the origin and history of the Florence Republic, and still maintains its reputation as the city's political focus.

    On the east side of the Lords Square, there is a very tall tower that goes up and overlooks the city, with a very beautiful roof. The palace itself is square and there are many sculptures in the interior, next to the mercenary pavilion.

    Generally called it the Lord Palace, because the bottom is the Lord Square, the boundary of this building has a boundary guide to the square, the high tower must be on, here you can take the most classic angle of the city, see the beautiful roof.

    There are many precious art collections, in the city square, which is quite large, you can take a good look, the top of the wall is very beautiful. The appearance of the building is very thick and has historical deposits. It's appropriate to spend half a day or so.

    Florence's famous churches and squares are relatively convenient in geographical location and can be reached on foot. Michelangelo's David sculpture is a replica, but we still seem to be exquisite.

    The Old Palace, also known as Vicio Palace, was once the residence of the famous Medici family, and is still used as a city hall. All the Medici family collections in the museum are genuine! The Renaissance frescoes, sculptures and furniture are really exquisite. It's not enough to watch them carefully for a week. I can only walk around the museum area: 10 Euros. Bell Tower: 10 Euros. Museum Area + Bell Tower: 14 Euros. Multimedia Interpreter: 5 European Museum Areas: 9:00-24:00 from April 1 to September 30, from Friday to next Wednesday; 9:00-14:00 on Thursday; 9:00-19:00 from October 1 to March 31, from Friday to next Wednesday; 9:00-14:00 Bell Tower on Thursday: 9:00-21:00 from April 1 to September 30, from Friday to next Wednesday; 9:00-14:00 on Thursday; 10:00-17:00 from October 1 to March 31, from Friday to next Wednesday; 10:00-14:00 on Thursday On December 25, the closed Medici family, the legendary Italian family, is interested in reading books describing its family history. The word Medicine comes from its family name. His legend does not lie in the huge wealth accumulated, but in the construction of churches and public facilities, the award of culture, the networking and funding of artists, the collection of books, manuscripts and the opening to the public, and the extensive poem-hunting. Song, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, history, philosophy, political theory and other fields --- without the Medici family, the Italian Renaissance will certainly not have today's achievements and features. There are special commentators in the Old Palace. A Taiwanese elder sister, who is kind, diligent and knowledgeable, has given us her explanations. With her explanations, gorgeous collections have become alive. It is necessary to read this kind of museum with explanations. The Hall of Five Hundred People, built by King Cosimo I, has no pillars in the hall. The walls and roofs are all beautiful murals. Vasari created murals depicting the defeat of Pisa and Siena by the Florentine army led by King Cosimo I. The frescoes and sculptures in this hall alone are enough to take a good look for a week. All the cabinets in the study are hand-painted maps on the doors, which depict people's concepts of the world at that time. Among them, the one about Asia is the fact that the South China Sea has been the territory of China since ancient times.
