Our charming B&B in Florence close to the Academy Gallery and its David
April 7, 2010
Before to start a trip to Florence, so many guests ask us: where is located your bed and breakfast in Florence?
I would say in the most lively area of the city center, where locals live, where restaurants are not for tourists only, and where the food Market of San Lorenzo give its special touch of colours.
But, to give you the exact location of our romantic B&B in the city center of Florence, I have to say that we’re just 3 minutes walk from the world-famous Academy Gallery and its Michelangelo’s David.
This museum is easy to visit, and is full of extraodinary masterpieces such as Michelangelo‘s Prisoners (in the Prisoner’s Corridor), St Matthew, and the Pietà di Palestrina. There is the unmissable Annunciation by Lorenzo Monaco, and the Madonna del Lago by Botticelli, the Deposition by Bronzino, works by Filippo Lippi, and many others… On the upper floor there is a large selection of paintings 14th-16th century.
The David was originally placed in Piazza della Signoria, right on the steps of Palazzo Vecchio, representing the strenght and the dignity of the Florentine Republic; it was there for about 400 years, and then it was removed for proctection pourposes, and the Academy Gallery became his place.
If you intend to visit the David, then reserve the tickets in advance; you will save precious time to touring other gems in Florence historic downtown! At Mr My Resort Inn we offer museums booking service without additional costs, so email us and book your tickets to see the Academy Gallery!
