Forte Belvedere is a star-shaped Medici fortress perched above the Boboli Gardens, offering panoramic views and hosting summer contemporary art installations. The combination of military architecture and art creates a unique hilltop experience.
Commissioned by Grand Duke Ferdinand I in 1590 and designed by Bernardo Buontalenti, the fort defended the Palazzo Pitti and housed the Medici treasure. It was also connected to the Vasari Corridor.
