The Fort of San Giorgio, better known as Forte Belvedere, the fortress that overlooks the city from above and which will be open to visitors again from 25 June, reopens to the public. The external spaces of the Fort, including the two terraces of the Palazzina Medicea, will be open free of charge from Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 8pm (closed on Mondays for weekly rest) thanks, explains a note, to the valorisation proposal offered by the Florentine Civic Museums and Muse .
Every Friday and Sunday at 5pm and 6.30pm, it will also be possible to take part in guided tours which will allow you to understand the salient features of the history of the fortress and more generally of the sixteenth-century architecture (reservations required).
The reopening of Forte Belvedere is part of the summer opening program of the city’s towers, gates and fortresses. Porta San Frediano, in collaboration with the Angeli del Bello Foundation, can be visited until 30 September on Saturdays and Sundays from 5pm to 8pm. In the same period, the Torre della Zecca and the Torre San Niccolò can be visited (Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 5pm to 8pm, visits every half hour). Added to this calendar are visits to the Fortress of San Giovanni, better known as Fortezza da Basso, in collaboration with Firenze Fiera (Saturday 27 July, Saturday 24 August, Saturday 14 September at 4-5-6pm).
