The Bargello is one of my favorite museums in Florence. It is a sculpture and artifact museum that is located in the old jail. It is a beautiful building! This is a photo of the main courtyard.

A lovely green and wooded area along the Arno river. If you go only a few minutes outside the city center there are lovely parks and green spaces.
