    Discover the Medici legacy on a captivating Florentine adventure! Walk the streets that witnessed their rise to power. Start at the grand Palazzo Medici Riccardi, their early residence. Hear how the Medici, through strategic marriages and partnerships, weaved a powerful social network that included families like the Bardi and Altoviti. This very network is believed to be a key to their success. Your journey continues to San Lorenzo Square, once Florence's cathedral square. Witness the Medici's influence – they rebuilt the church in the glorious Renaissance style! Admire the Medici Chapels from the outside, where Michelangelo's genius shines in the New Sacristy and Medici Tombs. Crossing the Ponte Vecchio bridge over the Arno River, we reach the Oltrarno district. Here stands the imposing Palazzo Pitti, the Medici's final residence, marking the culmination of their extraordinary story.
