Uffizi Gallery
The Uffizi Gallery is one of the most famous museums in the world and is a definite must-see when visiting Florence. It houses a truly opulent collection of unique artworks and sculptures by celebrated Italian artists, including Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Giotto and Raffaello.
The main part of the collection was left to Florence by the Medici family, who once ruled this spectacular city. The idea was that Florentine’s could ‘adorn the state, be of utility to the public and attract the curiosity of foreigners’ – and we’re sure you’ll agree that this gallery achieves that.
