Florence Palazzo Vecchio Tickets

Buying these tickets for the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence will give you the opportunity to visit one of the most representative legendary castles of the Renaissance era.

This building, built between 1299 and 1314, represents the power that the city possessed at the time. Later, in the 16th century, Duke Cosimo I de Medici gave the order to refurbish it for use as his official residence.

The palace transformed its façade more towards the style of a castle, a look that it retains to this day. Its evolution over time continued and in 1800 it became the seat of Parliament, while today it houses the offices of the Florence City Council.

During the tour, you will be able to see its numerous rooms, including the Sala del Cinquecento, which is 54 metres long and some 18 metres high, the largest in the city.

Other must-sees are the Salone dei 500, where you will be amazed by the frescoes of the artist Giorgio Vasari; the Sala dei Gigli, the Hall of the Geographical Maps and the Hall of the last Chancellor of the Republic, where the rulers met to discuss the most important and critical issues of the region.

If you want to delve deeper into the details hidden within its walls, you can add a video guide on a tablet or an audio guide that for about an hour will tell you all the secrets of the palace.
