Museo di Palazzo Davanzati

About

Museo di Palazzo Davanzati offers a rare glimpse into domestic life in medieval and Renaissance Florence. Housed in a beautifully preserved 14th‑century tower‑house, the museum recreates the atmosphere of an aristocratic Florentine residence through furnished rooms, painted walls and everyday objects that evoke centuries of family life. Visitors move through intimate chambers, from the richly decorated Sala dei Pappagalli to bedrooms, kitchens and private spaces that reveal how wealthy merchants lived, worked and entertained. Textiles, ceramics, lace and household tools add layers of detail, while the building itself—part fortress, part elegant home—stands as a testament to Florence’s architectural heritage. Quiet, evocative and deeply atmospheric, Palazzo Davanzati offers one of the city’s most authentic historical experiences.
