A masterpiece of the military Renaissance architecture, the Fortezza da Basso was planned by Antonio da Sangallo il Giovane and commissioned by Duke Alessandro de’ Medici, and it was built between 1534 and 1537. The Fortezza da Basso today is the main venue of the Florence Congress & Exhibition Citadel.

The Fortezza da Basso has an overall surface of nearly 100,000 sq m, more than a half of which are covered, and it is an ideal place for congresses and great events, offering maximum functionality and safety.

The international events which have been taking place at the Fortezza da Basso since 1967 are a clear evidence of its prestige.

This complex and prestigious environment combines charming historic places with modern pavilions, specifically built to increase the space availability during events, such as the Spadolini Pavilion and the Cavaniglia Pavilion.
