More information on Piazzale Michelangelo
Renowned for its panoramic views of Florence and the Arno valley, this terrace is a popular spot with locals and tourists. Created as part of major restructuring of the city walls, Giuseppe Poggi's sumptuous terrace is typically 19th century. In 1871, Poggi designed a monument base dedicated to Michelangelo. The monument itself was to be composed of copies of Michelangelo's works, including David and the Medici chapel sculptures from Basilica di San Lorenzo Maggiore. When the terrace was finished, Poggi designed the hillside building, now a restaurant, as a museum for Michelangelo's works.
