The discovery of Renaissance treasures and Medici’s history and secrets inside their Palace. Palazzo Vecchio, which stands majestically on the Florence skyline, is one of the most recognized symbols of the city. Built during the Middle Ages, it still preserves the austere architecture of the fourteenth century, with its crenelated top and the imposing Arnolfo’s Tower. The indoor parts of the building, beautifully renovated in the '500 when the Palace became the house of Medici, are instead typically Renaissance and hold priceless treasures and works of art. In the sumptuous halls and the private apartments of the family, worked the greatest artists of the period. Visiting the palace means strolling among the wonders of the Renaissance and retracing its history, discovering also the secrets and tales linked to the powerful Medici family.
