A monumental open-air museum and quintessential Renaissance park rising behind Florence's Pitti Palace. Commissioned in the 16th century for the Medici dynasty, the gardens showcase terraced gravel pathways, ancient Roman and Renaissance marble sculptures, the Neptune fountain, and Bernardo Buontalenti's fantastical grotto. The highest terraces offer sweeping panoramas overlooking Florence's iconic skyline and Tuscan hills.

Highlights

  • Buontalenti Grotto filled with mannerist artificial stalactites
  • Cypress-lined Viottolone avenue descending to the Isolotto basin
  • Panoramic viewpoints over the Brunelleschi dome and Florence
