The Perseus who killed Medusa in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence.
If you are in Florence you definitely cannot miss seeing this statue located right in the center, in the very famous Piazza della Signoria.
It is sheltered under the Loggia dei Lanzi, the structure in front of Palazzo Vecchio that houses several works.
