The Uffizi Gallery is a must-see if you visit Florence. Built in 1560 and known as the oldest museum in the world, it was designed by the famous Renaissance architect Giorgio Vasari.

After eliminating most of his rivals, Cosimo I assigned an office to the others to "keep an eye on them." The name "Uffizi" actually means just that.

With this tour of the Uffizi, you will be able to quickly learn the history of some of the most precious masterpieces preserved in Florence.
