Top SightsPalazzo Pitti

Wealthy banker Luca Pitti commissioned this palace in 1458, but once completed, waning family fortunes forced it to be sold to arch-rivals, the Medici. It subsequently became home to the dukes of Lorraine and, when Florence was made capital of the nascent Kingdom of Italy in 1865, the Savoy (who gave it to the state in 1919).

y Top Tips

ATicketing for the palace complex and surrounding gardens is complicated: choose from Ticket 1 (Galleria Palatina, Appartamenti Reali and Galleria d’Arte Moderna); Ticket 2 (Museo della Moda e del Costume, Museo degli Argenti, Giardino di Boboli, Giardino Bardini and Museo delle Porcellane); and Ticket 3 (all sights; valid for three days). Buy these from the ticket office to the right of the palace entrance.
