Florence est une ville où il est impossible de faire un pas sans avoir 10 architectures, statues,façades, lieux sacrés à photographier. Tout au moins dans le centre historique. Nous sommes donc passés plusieurs fois à côté de cet endroit incroyable sans voir les statues ô combien impressionnantes. À voir absolument

Un loc fascinant plin de arhitectură

Galería artística cubierta y de acceso libre. La escultura del rapto de la sabina es una maravillosa obra de arte, con los cuerpos dispuestos en forma de hélice. Es de lo que más me gustó de la ciudad y está ubicada en la logia del lanzi, en la piazza de la signoria (gratis y a cubierto). Increible!
