Florence in the Middle Ages Virtual Tour

Forget the Renaissance! Discover an even more ancient side of Florence in this new engaging virtual tour. Long before the city became a beacon of art and culture, medieval Florence was a place of towering stone structures, powerful guilds, fortified homes, and narrow, winding streets filled with merchants and political intrigue.

Step into the world of medieval Florence, where families built defensive towers, and the city’s guilds shaped its economy and society. Explore the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, the political heart of the city, and visit the medieval Palazzo Davanzati to see how Florence’s wealthiest families lived. Wander through Dante Alighieri’s neighborhood, where the great poet grew up amidst the power struggles between the Guelphs and Ghibellines.

Discover Orsanmichele Church, once a grain market, later turned into a guild church adorned with statues by famous medieval artists. Feel the weight of history in Florence’s old prisons and fortress-like houses, built for protection during violent times. These medieval structures still stand as silent witnesses to a past defined by ambition and rivalry.

This virtual tour with slides offers a rare opportunity to see Florence beyond its Renaissance splendor. Sign up now and experience the hidden medieval side of Florence!
