More About Bargello Museum
The Bargello Museum, originally a fortress and later a prison, is now one of Florence's most important museums. It houses an impressive collection of Renaissance sculptures, including works by Michelangelo, Donatello, and Verrocchio. The building itself is a fine example of Gothic architecture with its crenellated walls and tower. The museum offers a unique glimpse into Florence's artistic achievements during the Renaissance.
