Palazzo Davanzati, Gothic palace and house museum in Florence, Italy
The Palazzo Davanzati features a sandstone facade with three large portals, three stories of mullioned windows, and a 16th-century loggia with columns.
The palace, built around 1400 by the Davizzi family of wool merchants, changed ownership through centuries until becoming a state museum in 1951.
The museum displays medieval and Renaissance domestic life through period furniture, decorative arts, and frescoed rooms like the Sala dei Pappagalli.
The museum opens all three floors to visitors, featuring guided tours through preserved medieval living spaces and collections of historical household items.
The second floor contains the Chatelain of Vergy bedroom with narrative frescoes depicting a medieval French romance on its walls.
