Florence's quintessential viewpoint, set on a hilltop above the south bank of the Arno River. Designed in 1869 by Giuseppe Poggi, it delivers an unobstructed panorama of the city skyline: Brunelleschi's dome, Giotto's Campanile, Palazzo Vecchio, and Ponte Vecchio. A bronze replica of Michelangelo's David anchors the terrace, where crowds gather to watch the sunset.
