The Museo Nazionale del Bargello is housed in the oldest public building in Florence, and today showcases the most important collection in the world of Italian Renaissance sculpture. Not to be missed are the masterpieces by great artists such as Donatello, Verrocchio, the Della Robbias, Michelangelo, Giambologna and Cellini.

The burial place of the Medici family, the Cappelle Medicee (Medici Chapels) are today a national monument and museum. It features the “Sagrestia Nuova”, whose architecture and sculptures are by Michelangelo Buonarroti, the “Cappella dei Principi”, a monumental grand ducal mausoleum, and the crypts below.

Orsanmichele is a unique Gothic building set into the very heart of Florence: splendid views of the old city are framed by the large biforas on the top floor. Built in the Middle Ages to house the city grain market, it was later transformed into a church, while the upper floor is now home to a museum of the great collection of sculpture coming from the building itself.

Palazzo Davanzati was built in the 1300s by the Florentine family of the Davizzis, merchants and bankers of the time. After the centuries-long ownership of the Davanzati family, it was restored and refurbished in the XX century, bearing witness to the domestic life and to the comforts of the wealthy families of the past, into a stunning one-of-a-kind example of a medieval house in Florence.

Hidden in the very center of Florence, Casa Martelli was for centuries (and until 1986) home to the ancient noble Florentine family of the Martellis. The apartments are adorned with elegant furnishings and precious works of art, such as the “landscape room” and the “pergola room” on the ground floor, the elegant staircase, the picture gallery and the ballroom on the main floor.
