## Commentary

Like large medieval palaces, the Medici Palace was built around a central courtyard. Its lower story is a continuous arcade, the second has windows resembling those of the exterior, and the third was originally and open loggia. Donatello&#39;s bronze David was first documented in the centre of the courtyard.
