The Meier's German Adventure

We walked the streets some more and arrived here - the Piazza della Signoria where the building in the picture -the Palazzo Vecchio- is located. Here is David number 2 - just below and to the right of the flags on the building. This is where the original David stood until 1873. The old palace still fulfills its original as town hall. It was completed in 1322 when a huge bell, used to call citizens to meetings or warn of fire,flood, or enemy attack, was hauled up to the top of the imposing bell tower.
