Gigantic 16th Century Brick And Stone Sculpture Of A Guardian Colossus

Out of all the original structures that were built in the 16th century, only the Colossus of the Apennines remains. As the monumental statue sits atop his stone seat, it was able to withstand the test of time for over 400 years. The enduring structure certainly lives up to his name as he remains a faithful guardian to the property for hundreds of years. You can visit this majestic statue in the Park of Pratolino which is open to the public during weekends and holidays. If you want to visit the park on weekdays, you’ll need to book ahead of time.
