The Belvedere is a beautiful fortified villa that Ferdinand I commissioned to Buontalenti, who constructed it between 1590 and 1595. There is a most beautiful view of Florence from the gardens of the fort. To reach the Belvedere, it is necessary to exit from the Boboli Gardensof the Palazzo Pitti. Today, it is a tranquil place immersed in green, and in the Summer becomes a seat of contemporary art exhibitions.
