Palazzo d'Arnolfo, Medieval palace in San Giovanni Valdarno, Italy

The Palazzo d'Arnolfo features a tower rising from its center, with double-row windows and battlements, along with four arches on the main facades.

Built in the 13th century, the palace served as headquarters for Florence's representatives and the civic council, managing local governance in the Valdarno region.

The palace walls display over 250 stone and ceramic coats of arms from different vicariates, created between 1410 and 1769 by the Della Robbia family.

The Museum of the Terre Nuove inside the palace presents exhibits about urban development in medieval Tuscany through interactive educational displays.

The ground floor portico contains octagonal pillars decorated with emblems of Florence and the Guelph party, including the Florentine lily and eagle.
