Piazza della Signoria (Signoria Square) is Florence’s main square and one of the liveliest areas of the city. Located between the Arno River and the Piazza del Duomo, the L-shaped square lies in front of the Palazzo Vecchio, also known as the Palazzo della Signoria, and is the main point of the origin, history and political focus of the Florentine Republic. The piazza is home to several famous monuments, including the Palazzo Vecchio (Old Palace) with its two sculptures of Adam and Eve, and a copy of the statue of Michelangelo’s David; the small open-air museum of the Logia dei Lanzi or the Loggia della Signoria; the Fountain of Neptune; and the Equestrian Monument of Cosimo I, which was sculpted in 1594 by Giambologna. The Piazza della Signoria is the city’s liveliest square with bustling restaurants, café, and bars packed with people watching street artists, who use the square as a stage.
