On this tour, your personal guide will walk you through the Palazzo Della Signoria, a historic building constructed towards the end of the 13th century, which served as the base for the Florentine Republic. By the 16th century, with the Medici family’s ascension to power, the Palazzo turned into the residence of Grand Duke Cosimo I de Medici. The 19th century saw the Palazzo transform into a parliamentary seat post-Italy’s unification, during Florence’s tenure as the capital. Within its walls, you may explore the Government Halls and the private quarters of the Granducale family, meticulously refurbished and embellished by Giorgio Vasari. Further, you’d get to witness the extensively frescoed rooms of Grand Duchess Eleonora of Toledo, and the remarkable Salone dei 500, this structure’s highlight. Concluding the tour, you’d get to relish one of the finest city panoramas from the terrace at the building’s rear. Presently housing the Municipality of Florence, the Palace has been commonly referred to as Palazzo Vecchio over the past century, in reminiscence of its historical significance.
