The exhibition center

Discover Florence and its beautiful Renaissance beauties.

Visiting MIDA is an opportunity to get to know Florence and its artistic beauties, starting right from the Fortezza da Basso, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture built in the first half of the 16th century, to ensure control of the city for the Medici. Today, the fortress is the headquarters of the Florence exhibition centre.
