Museo di Palazzo Davanzati closed for repairs at the time of writing, free): The architecture of this mid-14th-century gem is amazing and its museum containing common household items from the 14th and 15th centuries offers a valuable insight into the way of life at that time. Each room is furnished in predominantly medieval style using genuine artifacts, and the architecture – siege-resistant doors, huge storerooms, floor hatches through which to bombard attackers – shows the lengths to which the rich felt they had to go to protect themselves from the marauding masses.
