Palazzo Vecchio

This was the main palace for the Medicis during the Renaissance.

This is a copy of Michelangelo's David - the original once stood here and now is in the Academia

The Palazzo Vecchio is heavily decorated with grotesques - these are interesting little vignettes painted on the walls and modeled after the wall paintings found in Nero's house.
