Palazzo Vecchio in Florence

About the place
Palazzo Vecchio (The Old Palace) is the main complex in Piazza della Signoria. Florence's principal palace was begun in 1299 and built as the seat of the Signoria, the fathers of the city's republican government.

Information
The 'Palazzo Vecchio' is located in the 'Piazza della Signoria'. Palazzo Vecchio is connected with the Pitti Palace through the Vasari corridor which runs through the Uffizi and over Ponte Vecchio to the other side of the river Arno. The corridor was constructed by Vasari after the Medici family moved into the Pitti Palace.
You can find here a nice courtyard, the 'Salone Cinquecento' (in the first floor), The 'Cappela della Signoria' (second floor) and the 'Sala dell’Udienza' (second floor) among other rooms full of works of art.

History
In 1540, Cosimo I of the Medici family converted the palace into the residence of the Dukes of Florence.It was constructed in 1294 (A. di Cambio) and later expanded by Buontalenti and Vasari. It was designed as a Fortress-Palace to be used as the 'Signoria' headquarters. The elected members of the Republic of Florence formed the 'Signoria'. In 1540 The Medici Family moved to this palace, they stayed here for ten years, later they moved to the 'Palazzo Pitti'. Then they called this Palace the old Palace (= 'Palazzo Vecchio').

Hour
Palazzo Vecchio is open to visitors Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Thursday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The museum is closed on certain holidays.
