As part of our Duomo climb ticket (Cupola) we also had access to the other sites on the complex. After scaling the hot & dizzy heights of the duomo in July standing at 92m high we noticed the campanile adjacent to the dome & couldn’t resist climbing there too to enjoy the magnificent views from there. The climb inside the campanile offers more respite moments to catch your breath on much more open staircases climbing to a similar height of 82m & equally magnificent views all around including the wonderful Duomo. So if you’re unsure of tackling the challenge of climbing in more confined & upright spaces in the duomo then consider the campanile climb instead. You will not miss out on the glory of the views over Florence in a slightly less intense environment.

Known as Villa Demidoff, the Pratolino Park has a very intriguing story that brings it to be a role model for the Mannerism and a high example of artistic and technical excellence.

This outdoor museum space is a peaceful place to rest your weary feet after a long day of sight seeing. Admire some of Florence's most iconic original sculptures from Cellini's "Perseus" to Giambologna's "Rape of the Sabines."

This area has several masterpieces with Cellini's Perseus to Rape of Sabines. Luca, our tour guide, stated this area has been there since Renaissance. Many artist at that time along with tourist would be able to study the art up close. Flanking this is the Uffzi, Pallazo Vecchio, and Uffzi museum. If you want an up close photo of a masterpiece this is the place to go.

Unlike the other sculptures in the Loggia, such as Giambologna"s famous "Rape of the Sabine Women", this is the actual bronze statue sculpted by Benvenuto Cellini, another Florentine genius. It is not a copy. This is apparently the first-ever bronze sculpture made during the Renaissance. Wander around it and marvel at the details.

A quick visit to the boar and insert a coin via it's mouth for a safe return to Florence. I would recommend going early in the morning or mid evening as it was very busy when we visited. Free water near by.
