Archbishop's Palace, Renaissance palazzo and archbishop's residence near Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, Florence, Italy.

The Archbishop's Palace stands between Piazza San Giovanni, Via de' Cerretani, Piazza dell'Olio and Via de' Pecori, opposite the Baptistery apse. Its main front was rebuilt by Giovanni Antonio Dosio between 1573 and 1584 for Alessandro de' Medici, later Pope Leo XI. A suspended passage, the Arco dell'Arcivescovado, links the palace across the street.

The building grew from earlier structures that were fundamentally reshaped during the Renaissance. Multiple archbishops left their mark through renovations and improvements across the centuries.

The palace is the seat of the Archdiocese of Florence, which became an archbishopric in 1419 under Pope Martin V. The name of the adjoining Via de' Pecori recalls the Pecori family, and the archbishop's coat of arms, added by Alessandro de' Medici in 1583, can still be seen on the facade.

The palace sits near the cathedral and is easily reached on foot from the historic center. Visitors should know that access sometimes varies, so it helps to check opening times beforehand.

The suspended passage over Via dell'Arcivescovado, the Arco dell'Arcivescovado, was built by Giovanni Antonio Dosio after 1573; his surviving drawing in the GDSU shows he planned a full hanging hall reaching Via de' Cerretani, but only a reduced corridor was realised.
