The Pitti Palace, or Palazzo Pitti in Italian, is the largest museum in Florence. Located in a magnificent three-story building from the second half of the 15th century, this museum complex used to be the residence of the rulers of the Great Duchy of Tuscany. Nowadays, it is home to five separate museums. Here is an overview of each of those museums:
- The Palatine Gallery. This gallery, along with Royal and Imperial Apartments, occupies the entirety of the palace's first floor. Paintings on display are from the private collection of the powerful Medici family; among them are the works of Raphael, Tintoretto, Titian, Rubens, and Caravaggio.
- The Museum of Russian Icons. This museum is home to Western Europe's most ancient collection of Russian Icons. Most of these icons were acquired during the reign of the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty before 1761. Another highlight is the Palatine Chapel, built under orders of the Grand Duke of Tuscany in 1766.
- The Treasury of the Grand Dukes. As the name suggests, this museum displays the treasures amassed by the Grand Dukes over the years: the Medici's Treasure, the Treasure of Salzburg, and a beautiful jewelry collection from the 17th to 20th centuries.
- The Museum of Costume and Fashion. This museum includes examples of clothing, accessories, and jewelry from the 18th century to the present day. Unfortunately, this museum is closed; check the official website for updates.
