Literally "towering" over Florence, the 95 mt. high Tower of Palazzo Vecchio is one of the city's unmistakable symbols and focal points. It is also one of the oldest parts of the building built between 1299 and the early 14th century, possibly to a design by Arnolfo di Cambio, as the seat of the City Government.
The spectacular view of Florence is nice from the top of the tower but also from the intermediate views during the ascent and to the suggestive path of the “Camminamento di Ronda”.
It is recommended for children because the climb can be done easily despite the height and the high number of steps. Access to children is allowed from 6 years old.
