Palazzo Medici Riccardi, Renaissance palace museum in Florence, Italy
The palace features a rusticated stone facade with symmetrical arched windows, expressing classical design through its harmonious proportions and materials.
Commissioned by Cosimo de Medici in 1444, architect Michelozzo designed this first Renaissance building in Florence as a symbol of political power.
The Chapel contains frescoes by Benozzo Gozzoli from 1459, depicting the Procession of the Magi with representations of notable Florentine citizens.
The palace museum maintains regular opening hours, offers guided tours, and provides wheelchair accessibility throughout the exhibition spaces.
After the Medici family moved to Palazzo Vecchio in 1540, the Riccardi family acquired the palace and added Baroque frescoes by Luca Giordano.
