Uffizi Gallery and Accademia Gallery with Michelangelo’s David

The glorious Accademia Gallery is home to the works of Michelangelo, whose skill with paint and marble has made him one of the greatest artists the world has ever known. His most famous work, the Statue of David, is often considered to be the most famous statue in the world – and it is but one example of Michelangelo’s masterful craftsmanship. That statue, and so many more of Michelangelo’s greatest works, are enshrined in Accademia’s immaculate halls.

But the scope of the Accademia Gallery does not end there. Other artists stand alongside Michelangelo, each one representing their own piece of Florentine history – reaching between the 13th and 16th centuries.

And it is only Italy’s second most popular gallery. The top choice is the Uffizi Gallery, which also makes itself known on this tour, enshrining works from throughout the renaissance and beyond.  Here, you can bear witness to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Raphael, and so many more.

Inheriting much of its collection from the House of Medici, an elite Italian political dynasty, the halls of Uffizi are a place of unmatched prestige. The gallery once contained so many exquisite works that it could not properly contain them, instead focusing on refining its collection and sending other valuable works to Italy’s various galleries and museums. But after a massive-scale expansion, the Uffizi Gallery has grown even beyond its peerless greatness – becoming a must-see site for any Italian tour.
