Palazzo Pazzi, Renaissance palace in Florence, Italy.
Palazzo Pazzi is a Renaissance palace in Florence with a three-story structure featuring yellow sandstone on the ground floor and pale stucco walls above. The facade follows classical Renaissance proportions and shapes the streetscape of Florence's historic center.
The palace was built between 1458 and 1469 for Jacopo de' Pazzi and symbolized the family's power in Florence. After their failed uprising against the Medici in 1478, the palace was confiscated and lost its original importance.
The building carries symbols of seafaring in its decorative elements, reflecting the Pazzi family's wealth from trade with distant lands.
The palace stands at Via del Proconsolo 10 at the intersection with Borgo Albizzi in the heart of Florence's historic center. Its central location makes it easily accessible on foot and near other important monuments.
The family coat of arms is topped by a flaming cup that recalls their ancestors' participation in the Crusades. This artistically crafted element is a rare historical reminder of the family's early connections to the Holy Land.
