The apartment dates back to the XVIII century, it has been minutely restored recently. It overlooks the Medici Chapels, where you can enjoy some of the most important Michelangelo’s masterpieces.
The noble Aldobrandini family had a brilliant career both in the law and ecclesiastical fields.
The Aldobrandini Palace is also called "of the Pope" because Ippolito Aldobrandini, elected Pope Clement VIII, used to live here when he stopped in Florence.

The current building stands where various houses owned by the Aldobrandini Family were present from the fourteenth century. It was considerably renovated in the eighteenth century, achieving its present appearance. The building is spread over three floors. The doorway leads to a hall with a barrel vault decorated in the nineteenth century: here is to be noted the nineteenth-century wrought iron gate and, in front of the staircase, a door carved with the Aldobrandini's arms.
