The main purpose (and highlight) of our day in Florence was to visit the Uffizi Art Gallery

(22K) 576 x 395	Loggia della Signoria - an open air museum of sculpture	(27K) 648 x 419	The Neptune Fountain in Piazza della Signoria
(39K) 420 x 648	A bronze statue of Judith and Holofernes by Donatello	(36K) 360 x 687	Here it is in the flesh (stone): Michaelangelo's David. Actually it's just a copy, but why pay good money when it's free to see the replica.
(47K) 648 x 427	Inside the Uffizi - a large altarpiece of the Coronation	(38K) 504 x 682	Madonna and Child with Angels by Filippo Lippi
(31K) 792 x 404	The Annunciation by Leonardo di Vinci	(23K) 356 x 648	A nice view of the Palazzo Vecchio and Duomo through the window.
(29K) 648 x 488	A great view of the river Arno and the famous Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge)	(16K) 360 x 504	"You have written well of me" - St. Thomas levitating in adoration of the cross (very fuzzy)
(44K) 787 x 684	Abraham's Sacrifice of Isaac by Caravaggio	Or I recommend looking at the actual Caravaggio painting on the museum website.
