- Piazza della Signoria I - 50122 Firenze
Remarks
The loggia was constructed at the end of the 14C to accommodate the members of the Florentine government (the Signoria) during official ceremonies. It was later used as a guardroom by Cosimo I's lancers. Today it houses Antique and Renaissance statues: notable works include the Kidnapping of a Sabine Woman (1583) and a Hercules and Nessus by Giovanni da Bologna, but the highlight is theimpressive statue of Perseus brandishing the head of Medusa, made between 1545 and 1553 by Benvenuto Cellini.
