The Uffizi Gallery Florence: Galleria degli Uffizi,
Italian pronunciation: (pronounced Uffitsi), is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Florence, Italy. It is one of the oldest and most famous art museums of the Western world
The Palace was built by architect Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574) in the mid-sixteenth century, in a period when Cosimo I de Medici, then Grand Duke of Tuscany, was consolidating his power.
The Uffizi building was originally intended to house the "Uffici", offices of the magistrates. Nevertheless, since its origins, the Medici, a dynasty of great art collectors, allocated some rooms of the top floor of the building to display the best pieces in their collection.
