Forte di Belvedere, Florence Overview
The Forte di Belvedere is located on the highest hill, adjoining the Boboli Gardens, in the Quarter of San Niccolo, Florence. The fort’s name is quite literal; it is belvedere and offers breathtaking views, and is situated on higher ground.
It hosts contemporary art exhibits throughout the year. Fun fact for pop culture fans—this is where Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got married in 2014! The fort was constructed in the sixteenth century by Duke Fernandino Ⅰ de Medici. The fort was designed by Bernardo Buontalenti, who is also the inventor of gelato. It was strategically built near the Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens, so the Medicis could escape in case of foreign attacks or even an internal revolution. In 1951, the Italian Army donated the fort to the city. Galileo often visited this fort, home to many of his discoveries.
