17. Palazzo Pitti, Florence
The Palazzo Pitti was originally built for Luca Pitti, a prominent banker, but was quickly bought by the powerful Medici family in 1549, and used as the headquarters of the ruling family of the Duchy of Tuscany for centuries. Now, it’s open to the public as a museum and botanical gardens.
