Palace of Florence Apartments
Palace of Florence Apartments, Mediterranean Revival apartment building in Davis Islands, Tampa, United States.
The Palace of Florence Apartments is a four-story residential building in Mediterranean style with a prominent battlement tower and exterior staircase located at 45 Davis Boulevard in Tampa. The complex houses 28 apartment units and displays typical Italian Renaissance architectural details that define its entire appearance.
The building was constructed in 1925 during the Florida land boom, a period of intense real estate development and building activity in the region. It entered the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, documenting an important era in American architectural history.
The design reflects Italian palazzo architecture and creates a connection to Florentine building traditions that visitors can experience while exploring the facade and courtyards. The Mediterranean style shapes the overall character of the neighborhood and shows how artists and architects expressed their European roots in America.
The building is located on Davis Islands, a residential neighborhood with good walkability where visitors can comfortably explore the surroundings. The best time to visit is during the cooler months, when you can observe the facade and architectural details in more pleasant weather.
The building is part of a larger collection of over 20 other structures in Mediterranean style on Davis Islands that together form a coherent historic district. This concentration of similar buildings from the same era makes the entire area an open-air museum of Mediterranean architecture.
