Palazzo della Crocetta, Renaissance palace in San Giovanni district, Florence, Italy.

The palace follows a U-shaped design with entrances on Via della Colonna, Via Gino Capponi, Via Laura, and Via della Pergola.

Architect Giulio Parigi constructed the building between 1619 and 1651 for Princess Maria Maddalena de' Medici on land owned by Spedale degli Innocenti.

The National Archaeological Museum occupies the palace since 1880, housing both the Etruscan Museum and Egyptian Museum collections.

The museum exhibits span multiple floors and include a public garden where visitors can examine reconstructions of ancient Etruscan tombs.

An elevated corridor connected the palace to nearby religious buildings, allowing the princess to move freely without encountering public spaces.
