It’s seen several important events in the city’s history and features many sculptures by famous Italian artists that have political connotations. The famous Palazzo Vecchio overlooks the square, and there is an open-air sculpture gallery called Loggia dei Lanzi within the plaza, too. Right behind it is the Uffizi Galleries art museum.
