Palazzo Vecchio Tower in Florence Italy
The oldest part of Palazzo Vecchio may be the work of Arnolfo di Cambio (1245-1302) and was built at the turn of the thirteenth and fourteenth century as the seat of the Priors. Successive additions of the fifteenth and above all of the sixteenth centuries have changed the scale of the rear of the palace without however modifying the massive appearance of the huge blocks, projecting gallery and assymmetrical tower dominating Piazza Signoria.
