The Medici family bought the palace in 1550 and carried out some works such as the inner courtyard by Bartolomeo Ammannati, enlarged the gardens and linked them with the Belvedere fortress. This beautiful garden was created between the 15th and 19th centuries and is located in an old quarry. In the past it was used to create a theater with a gallery and served as a stage for the presentation of the first operas in history.
