Florence Things to do in Florence

Perhaps the most famous statue in the world, Michelangelo's David resides in splendour at the Academia Gallery at Santa Croce Church. The statue was carved from a single block of marble, and is one of the most beautiful and masterful pieces of sculpture in the world, and one of many that can be found in Florence - the city that is reputed to be home to around a third of the most important works of art in the world.
