Palace
The first Medici palace, a model Renaissance town house hiding the jewel-like Magi Chapel frescoes.
Michelozzo built the palace for Cosimo the Elder in the 1440s, setting the pattern for Florentine palaces. Upstairs, the tiny Magi Chapel is covered with Benozzo Gozzoli's frescoes of a procession winding through the Tuscan hills, with members of the Medici family among the riders.
Best time to go: Weekday afternoons; the Magi Chapel admits small groups at a time.
