In short

What Palazzo Vecchio is

Palazzo Vecchio is located in Piazza della Signoria in Florence and stands as a historical and artistic symbol of the city. This 13th-century fortified palace houses lavishly decorated chambers and ornate courtyards. Inside, visitors can explore the Hall of the Five Hundred, known for its impressive frescoes, and the renowned Studiolo of Francesco I de’ Medici, which contains a collection of rare and precious artifacts.

Another attraction is the Arnolfo Tower, offering panoramic views of the city. Visitors can also discover secret passages and hidden rooms used by the Medici family, accessible through guided tours. Among these are the Camerino di Bianca Cappello and the Scrittoio of Cosimo I.

Due to maintenance work, the ceiling structure of the Grand Hall is not visitable until 31 August 2026. However, it is possible to visit the Bath of Cosimo as part of the tour. Palazzo Vecchio offers a unique experience that combines history, art, and architecture in the heart of Florence.
