Palazzo Vecchio is a historic government building located in the heart of Florence, Italy. Originally constructed at the end of the 13th century, it served as the seat of the Florentine Republic's government. Its imposing medieval architecture, characterized by a crenellated tower and fortified walls, makes it a quintessential example of civic architecture from that period. The interior is richly decorated with elaborate frescoes and artworks by renowned artists such as Michelangelo and Giorgio Vasari.
