conceived as a large block crowned by merlons. The

and similar in style to the upper part of the mansion. In the
interior is the "salone dei Cinquecento" with ancient tapestries,
paintings by Vasari, and sculptures representing the "Labours of
Hercules". Other works by Donatello, Michelozzo, Verrocchio,
Michelangelo, Bronzino etc. On the 2nd floor opens the "sala dei
Gigli" frescoed by Ghirlandaio and Da Maiano. In the mezzanine floor
are works by Rubens and Tintoretto.
