Palazzo del Bargello

MuseumFlorenceAbout 1.3 hours

Florence's sculpture museum in a former prison, and the quiet alternative to the Accademia — Donatello's David, Michelangelo's early work, and a courtyard worth sitting in. Rarely busy even in August. An hour, and a good pairing with Santa Croce five minutes away.
