Uffizi

The Uffizi Gallery is one of the most well-known museums in the world, thanks to its extensive collection of unique artworks and masterpieces, the bulk of which date from the Renaissance period. The Medici left the majority of the collections to the state of Tuscany in order for them to “adorn the State, be of utility to the Public and attract the curiosity of Foreigners”.

The Uffizi Gallery, located in the heart of Florence, houses works by notable Italian artists such as Botticelli, Giotto, Cimabue, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raffaello, to mention a few. Its extensive collection includes works from all centuries, but the majority of the date from the 12th to the 17th century. The Uffizi Gallery, which attracts over a million tourists each year, is a must-see for everyone visiting Florence and Tuscany. The Uffizi, together with the Vatican Museums in Rome, are the top two most visited museums in Italy, with huge lineups at the museum's entry almost as famous as its masterpieces.
