Villa Medici, Renaissance villa in Marignolle, Florence, Italy
The Villa Medici features symmetrical architecture with stone walls, arched windows, and a central courtyard surrounded by formal gardens and terraces.
Architect Bernardo Buontalenti designed this villa during the 16th century as part of the Medici family's network of residences across Tuscany.
The Villa Medici represents the connection between architecture and power in Renaissance Florence through its structural elements and strategic location.
Visitors can reach the villa by taking bus number 36 from Florence's central station to Marignolle, followed by a 10-minute walk uphill.
The villa's position on a hillside allows guests to see both Florence's cathedral dome and the Tuscan countryside from its upper-floor windows.
