Florence's medieval Palazzo Vecchio at night
With over 400 steps to climb, thank goodness there's at least a view from the windows and platform levels of Giotto's Bell Tower in Florence. The campanile of the Palazzo Vecchio stands proud in the distance.
The clock and the tower of this 13th century palace are a reference point for many tourists who visit Florence.
The palace was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio and built in the Quartieri Santa Croce, in Piazza della Signoria. Cosimo I de’ Medici resided there along with his family.
