The Enriching Galleria dell'Accademia

Housing impressive collections of numerous world-known artists, such as the sculptor Sandro Botticelli, Andrea del Sarto and more, Galleria dell'Accademia is a stop that should definitely appear on your Florence itinerary.

Established by Grand Duke Peter Leopold of Lorraine back in the 18th century, it opened its doors as an additional facility for students of the Academy of Fine Arts. With the collections of artwork growing bigger rapidly, it eventually turned into a gallery.

The Gallery of the Academy of Florence is actually best known for Michelangelo and his artwork. His renowned statue of David attracts a growing number of visitors each year, however, there are more historic pieces of artistry to see, such as the "Prisoners" or the "Statue of St. Matthew".

Galleria dell'Accademia is a hub of masterpieces, thus don't miss the chance to see it for yourself along with numerous other gems of Florence.
