Lonely Planet review for Forte di Belvedere

Sitting on a promontory above the Giardino di Boboli, this fort was designed by Bernando Buontalenti to guard the Medici family treasury. Its grassy ramparts provide stunning views across Florence as well as the villas and orchards south of the Arno. Inside the simple but stately main building are occasional contemporary art exhibitions (admission €5).
