Found this by accident and was sincerely pleased. Exceedingly gorgeous with tons of ancient statues! Must see for any history buffs or art lovers :-)

    The mercenary gallery consists of wide arches open to the street, three partitions wide, used to accommodate the assembly of people and hold public ceremonies, such as the swearing-in of the Chief Executive, and the arches supported on the Collins columns, which are quite attractive to Florentines, So Michelangelo even proposed to surround the entire Lord's Square. On the steps in the middle of the mercenary corridor, there are two Florentine signs, a marble statue of the lion, one on the right originates from ancient Roman times, and one on the left carved by Flamy • Ovaka in 1598. It was originally placed in the villa of Medici in Rome, and moved to this gallery in 1789. In Florentine eyes, the lion is a symbol of majesty, a patron of Florentine, a guardian of Florentine peace and the freedom of people. At the back of the gallery are five female marble statues, three of which can be identified as: Martina, Marianne and Agripina, sculptures from the period from Turajan to Hadrian in ancient Rome, found in Rome in 1541, and placed in the villa of the Medici in Rome in 1584 , 1789 by Peter Loo • Bordeaux, they have been significantly restored in modern times. Tickets, time: no tickets and time limit address: P.za della Signoria, 50122 Firenze FI, Italian bus: take C2 to Condotta station and get off, pass Via delle Farine Street to Via della Condotta Street, walk about 100 meters to the square.

    When I first saw it, I thought it was a copy, and later I knew it was not, but it was a really good sculpture, and there were many famous treasures. David was like the core, just on the side of the Lord's Square, with a lot of pigeons.

    The mercenary gallery is located on the side of the Lords Square, a wide arch building facing the street, with many Renaissance sculptures, arguably an open-air sculpture hall, the most famous of which are bronze sculptures - Parseus and Medusa, The story of Greek hero Parsius cutting off the head of Medusa is said to have taken a long time to complete. The sculptures in the corridor are great, but they don’t appreciate it very much, just look at it.

    Mercenary gallery is next to Florence Square. There are many artistic sculptures in it. They are very beautiful. You can feel the artistic atmosphere of the whole Florence. It's really the palace of art, the world of art!

    The mercenary Pavilion is located in the municipal square, also known as the Lanqi Corridor. Its name comes from the mercenary guard of Dagong Kosimo I who once camped here. There are many sculptures on display in the pavilion, the most famous of which is "robbing Sabin women" "Palthusius slaughtered Medusa"

    I came here mainly to see the statues. There are many statues here. They are also Italian originally. They are very interesting and beautiful in a big country of sculpture. You can go and have a look if you are free, but you seldom come here with the group.
