PIAZZA DELLA SIGNORIA

We continued our walk through Florence and arrived at the Piazza della Signoria, a L shaped area which has served as the city center and gathering place for the people of Florence since the 1400's.  It is near the Ponte Vecchio and is the gateway to the Uffizi Gallery.  For more information about Piazza della Signoria go to
