EJ · Visit to Palazzo Pitti (Galleria Palatina) & Boboli Gardens

On this magnificent tour you will discover the enchanting, terraced Boboli Gardens of Palazzo Pitti. Designed by Brunelleschi,Palazzo Pitti was built for the Pitti family in an effort to outshine their rivals, the Medici family. Ironically, the Pittis never occupied the palace; the Medicis later purchased the palazzo when building costs bankrupted the Pittis’ heirs. In 1550 it became the main residence of the Medicis, and subsequently all the rulers of the city lived there. Today the richly decorated rooms exhibit extraordinary treasures from the Medici collection. Don’t miss the opportunity to admire the beautiful works by Raphael and Titian during your visit to this striking palace. This is an unforgettable tour highlighting two of the greatest attractions of Florence
