Palazzo Vecchio de’ Medici

The Palazzo Medici features a ground floor covered in verrucana stone with prominent bifore windows and elegant trifore elements on upper levels.

The palace changed ownership from the Appiani family in 1392 to the Medici family in 1446, later hosting Lorenzo de' Medici and King Carlo VIII.

The building underwent restoration in 1871 by Ranieri Simonelli, transforming its architectural elements to align with Gothic design principles.

Located in Piazza Giuseppe Mazzini along Lungarno Mediceo, the palace currently functions as the Prefecture headquarters of Pisa.

The structure incorporates remnants of 11th-century buildings, making it one of the oldest continuously occupied administrative centers in Tuscany.
