Vasari Corridor
The Vasari Corridor is an elevated, enclosed pedestrian passage in Florence that links the Uffizi/Palazzo Vecchio area across the Ponte Vecchio to the Oltrarno and Pitti Palace. Built in the mid-16th century, it runs above street level and is pierced by small iron-grilled windows overlooking the thoroughfare below.

As it stood in 1565
What Vasari Corridor looked like in its prime.
A long, elevated enclosed corridor runs above a ground-level loggia of repeated round arches. Pale ochre plastered walls, a strong horizontal cornice and a shallow tiled roof define the silhouette. Small rectangular windows with iron grilles puncture the upper façade, casting grid-like shadows onto the wall. At street level the arcade opens through tall rounded arches into the busy market frontage with painted signs, awnings and a stone heraldic cartouche at the corner.
