Palazzo dei Vicari

This government palace with a defensive role (one side of it forms the western walls of Scarperia), has undergone several changes over the centuries.

The original core built on the tower was modified after the 1542 earthquake, taking on the appearance that we see today.

Its façade certainly is the most spectacular part, studded with coats of arms that belonged to the vicars of the most illustrious noble Florentine families. The Museum of Cutting Blades is inside the palace.
