Overview

Built more than 750 years ago as the Headquarters of Captain of the People Bargello was later transformed into the most horrifying jail of Florence to finally become one of its most spectacular museums. This building has witnessed fires, floods, riots and became the scene of tortures and terrible executions after the conspiracy began against the Medici clan in 1478.

Bargello is home the most incredible collection of Renaissance sculpture. Join us for this tour and see Donatello’s David and Michelangelo’s Bacchus along with the sculptures by Giambologna, Verrocchio and many other artists.
