This sculpture museum has pieces done by the great Michelangelo and Donatello (check out Donatello’s statue of David), as well as parts of the Medici treasure. Be sure to check out the ground floor, simply a must see for those Renaissance lovers! The building which contains the Bargello museum dates back to 1255. Admission: $4

Tips:

• This museum certainly wasn’t as impressive as the Uffizi but I would still recomment it. We had limited time, and really enjoyed exploring the 3 floors of sculptures in what was once a prison. Highlights were the Michelangelo and Donatello pieces.
