The Medici Fortress was built between 1561 and 1563 at the behest of Cosimo I de' Medici on the ground where the Spanish citadel previously stood. The architect Baldassarre Lanci originally gave it an L-shape and later transformed it into a square structure. The brick fortress consists of wedge walls at the corners, on which the Medici travertine coat of arms is placed.
Since 1937 the structure has been converted into a public garden. In summer, open-air cinema is offered on the grandstand. A nice playground and a really good fitness course with great equipment invite you to linger and attract a number of athletes.
