Restrictions on visits to the Palazzo Vecchio Museum due to a heat alert, info on cultura.comune.fi.it > Palazzo Vecchio
Museum opening hours may vary; check the official website of the Florentine Civic Museums cultura.comune.fi.it > Palazzo Vecchio
The Tower of Palazzo Vecchio accompanied by the crenellated Camminamento di Ronda, with its 95 meters of height, stands out over the city, constituting one of its unmistakable symbols and points of reference. It belongs to the first nucleus of the palace, built between 1299 and the beginning of the fourteenth century, perhaps designed by Arnolfo di Cambio. Inside the Tower, a stone staircase of 223 steps leads to the last crenellated lookout level that offers a spectacular view of the city.
WARNING
This palace is also the seat of the city council. Unfortunately this means that on certain special occasions when institutional ceremonies are scheduled, the museum may be totally or partially closed to the public.
We cannot always tell a long time in advance whether closure is going to be total or partial, so we strongly advise you to check the "Visitors please note" section before starting your visit.
