Michelangelo, in his youth, sculpted the David from a colossal block of raw marble over three years, crafting an imposing masterpiece of absolute beauty that has become an icon of the Renaissance era.
After the guided tour, you'll have the option to linger in the museum and soak in the artistry.

Guided by an expert, witness Bandinelli's exquisite marble choir, the intricate stained-glass windows crafted by Donatello, Ghiberti, and Andrea del Castagno, and the intriguing and enigmatic clock by Paolo Uccello. Stroll on the marvellous carpet of polychrome marbles and, when you gaze upward, the grand interior of the Dome, entirely frescoed by Vasari, the world's largest fresco, will take your breath away.
