Description
Explore the Palazzo Vecchio and marvel at the frescoes in the Hall of the Five Hundred!
Take a two-hour guided tour of Florence's historic City Hall, the Palazzo Vecchio Museum. This palace is steeped in tales of political intrigue and the fascinating history of the Medici family, who governed Florence from 1434 to 1737.
Step inside their private chambers and immerse yourself in the Renaissance atmosphere as you admire the stunning artworks that adorn the walls, transporting you back in time.
In the grand Salone dei Cinquecento, which spans 54 meters in length, 23 meters in width, and 18 meters in height, you'll be amazed by the breathtaking frescoes. This impressive hall is considered the largest civic room in Italy, originally designed for administrative purposes.
Discover the remarkable story of how Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci were both tasked with creating large frescoes for this hall and learn the surprising reasons why these masterpieces were never completed!
