Bargello Palace, Palace in Florence, Italy
The Bargello Palace stands as a three-story stone building with a central courtyard, external staircase, and crenellated walls in Florence's first borough.
The construction of Bargello Palace began in 1255 under architect Lapo Tedesco to serve as headquarters for the Capitano del Popolo and city magistrates.
The National Museum within Bargello Palace contains Renaissance sculptures by Donatello, Michelangelo, Cellini, and Verrocchio, representing Italian artistic excellence.
The museum displays collections of earthenware, Murano glass, ivories, and Islamic artifacts across multiple floors connected by medieval staircases.
The palace transformed from a governmental seat to a police headquarters and prison before becoming Italy's first national museum in 1865.
