What To Expect

Palazzo Vecchio

Palazzo Vecchio, Florence's iconic medieval fortress-palace standing proudly in Piazza della Signoria since 1299, embodies the heart of Florentine power and artistry. Originally serving as the city's town hall and a symbol of republican might, this architectural masterpiece later transformed into the opulent residence of the Medici family under Cosimo I, while maintaining its role as Florence's seat of government to this day. Inside, visitors discover a treasure trove of Renaissance artistry, from the magnificent Salone dei Cinquecento with its mysterious "cerca trova" inscription and Vasari's stunning frescoes, to the lavishly decorated Medici Apartments and the secret studiolo of Francesco I. The palace houses masterpieces by Renaissance giants including Michelangelo's "Genius of Victory" and works by Donatello, while featuring one of the world's oldest geographical map collections and the beautifully frescoed Chapel of Eleanor.
