The Bargello Museum in Florence was originally the police headquarters and prison and this is apparent in the solidly fortified exterior of the building. Inside the museum though there are glorious works of art such as Giambologna’s Mercury, Donatello’s David, and Michaelangelo’s wonderful drunken Bacchus, and a collection of mediaeval and Renaissance sculpture in Italy that is unsurpassed. Close by is Dante’s House, which is a small museum devoted to the life of the famous Florentine.

There are quite a few really worthwhile Florence attractions, whether it because of beauty or cultural and historical interest, and Florence's Bargello Museum is definitely one of them. It can't be a quick visit as there is much to see and do, so ensure your comfort by choosing one of the first class Florence hotels.
