Palace-fortress
In 1299, the government of the Florentine Republic (Signoria) invited the famous architect Arnolfo di Cambio to build a building for the stay and meeting of seniors, ie government officials. In the same year, construction began on the site of the Fanti Palace, which belonged to the Ghibelline family of Uberti, which was banished in 1266. Cambio used the old tower left over from the former palace. Therefore, the rectangular tower of the Palazzo Vecchio is now not in the center of the building. After Di Cambio's death in 1314, the construction of the palace was continued by his disciples.→

Palazzo Vecchio or Signoria
The huge palace served as the residence of the Signoria (ruling family). It received the name Vecchio (old) when Cosimo 1 moved to the Pitti Palace. Then the Italian parliament met here, and now the municipality is located. Palazzo deserves attention. But if this is your first time in Florence, you do not want to get there right away, leave it for your next trips. We went with an individual tour (for 7 people), it’s hard to find your way around there. Many halls, transitions. But very pretty. Photographs were not allowed.→
