The palace is another dark, brooding, brutal, dreary pile in rusticated stone built by the Medici bankers but like a dirty walnut lying in a ditch it hides the most delightful kernel: the chapel of th...
Appreciate that Covid-19 has affected all our lives but to restrict visitors to 5 minutes to admire Gozzoli's Procession of the Magi seemed utterly unreasonable - particularly as we had happily booked...

Palazzo Medici Riccardi which was designed by Michelozzo di Bartolomeo is a prime example of Renaissance-style architecture. This mid-fifteenth century building is known for its masonry. While it was originally built for the head of the Medici banking family, the Marchesi Riccardi family later bought it and expanded the Palazzo during the seventeenth century. You can still find Baroque frescoes by Luca Giordano and various sculptures in the courtyard. By allowing only eight guests at a time, the Palazzo Medici Riccardi provides a cozy atmosphere to enjoy Renaissance masterpieces.

It is hard to think about renaissance Florence and not think about the powerful Medici Family. The unique stone facade is very nice, and the interior courtyard is beautiful. It is worth visiting for its architectural uniqueness, as well as the vital role the Medici family played in the development of Florence
Medici family's main palace. Impressive external architecture but was closed when I was there in 2006.
The courtyard can be entered casually. The interior and exterior of the Medici family mansion look very low-key, but the waistline design of the building is very particular when looking carefully, and the courtyard is also very neat. It feels that the Medici family is indeed more restrained. noble.
It's hard to imagine that the Medici family mansion is so low-key, a bit like the contemporary Rockefeller father. The palace has collected a large number of artworks, most of which are paintings and sculptures. After all, his family sponsored the three great Renaissance masters and many talents.
