It is one of the most important Palace of Florence. Medici Riccardi Palace was the Medici’s house for almost 1 century,  commissioned by Cosimo il Vecchio to Michelozzo in 1444.
Here Lorenzo il magnific lived, here leonardo da Vinci, Donatello and Michelangelo were hosted and worked.

The palace itself is a beautiful  sample of early renaissance building.
Worth a visit also the great – and small-  “Cappella dei Magi”, by Benozzo Gozzoli. It’s a frescoed chapel at the first floor ( instead at the ground floor you can attend to same interesting multimedia explanations).
