Description
Galleria dell’Accademia – Home of David’s Gaze
Most people come to the Galleria dell’Accademia for one reason—to stand in awe of Michelangelo’s David. And honestly? It’s absolutely worth it.
The statue stands at the end of a long, light-filled hall like a guardian of art itself. At over 5 meters tall, carved from a single block of marble, David’s detail is staggering—from the veins in his hands to the quiet tension in his pose. Seeing him in person feels completely different from any photo or replica.
But don’t rush out too soon. The museum also houses Michelangelo’s “Prisoners”, haunting sculptures that look like figures trying to escape from the stone, plus works by Botticelli, Giambologna, and others.
Compact, focused, and deeply moving, the Accademia isn’t just a stop—it’s an experience of Florence’s soul carved in stone.
