Palazzo Pitti is a grand Renaissance palace in Florence, located on the south bank of the Arno River in the Oltrarno district. Originally built in the mid-15th century for the wealthy Pitti family, it was later purchased by the Medici family, becoming their primary residence. The palace's monumental design, attributed to architect Filippo Brunelleschi and executed by his pupil Luca Fancelli, reflects the power and influence of its owners.
Today, Palazzo Pitti is a cultural treasure, housing multiple museums, including the Palatine Gallery, showcasing masterpieces by Raphael, Titian, and Rubens, and the Gallery of Modern Art. Behind the palace lies the magnificent Boboli Gardens, an iconic example of Italian garden design. Palazzo Pitti's rich history, art collections, and stunning architecture make it one of Florence’s most important landmarks.
