Palazzo Pitti: Florentine court of three dynasties

The Palazzo Pitti, originally built in 1458 for Florentine industrialist Lucca Pitti, exemplifies Renaissance architecture with its robust framework, high arches, and rusticated stone features. Acquired by Eleonora di Toledo, wife of Cosimo I de Medici, it transformed into Florence's largest museum, featuring various galleries and the stunning Boboli Gardens. Find curated tickets, tours, and essential information for your visit.

Things to know before buying Pitti Palace tickets
