Vasarian Corridor

The Vasari Corridor is an enclosed passageway in Florence, Italy, designed by artist and architect Giorgio Vasari in the 16th century. It connects the Palazzo Vecchio with the Palazzo Pitti, passing over the city’s streets and the Arno River. Originally built for the ruling Medici family, it allowed them to move securely between their residences and government buildings while avoiding the busy streets. Today, the corridor houses a remarkable collection of portraits and artworks, offering a unique glimpse into Florence’s history and artistic heritage.
