The Vasari Corridor (Corridoio Vasariano) is the special elevated tunnel you're likely thinking of in Florence, Italy. Built in 1565 by architect Giorgio Vasari on orders from Cosimo I de' Medici, this 750-meter (about 2,460-foot) enclosed passageway served as a private, secure route for the Medici family to travel between their residence at Palazzo Pitti and the government offices at Palazzo Vecchio—without mingling with the public or risking assassination attempts. ### Key Highlights: - Path and Views: It snakes through the Uffizi Galleries (once the "offices" or uffici of the Medici), runs atop the iconic Ponte Vecchio bridge over the Arno River (with panoramic windows added later by Mussolini), and ends in the Boboli Gardens behind Palazzo Pitti. Along the way, you'll "spy" on Florence's rooftops, streets, and landmarks through small round windows, feeling like you're walking above the city. - Art Inside: The corridor houses over 2,000 artworks
