In 1560 the architect Giorgio Vasari started building for Grand Duke Cosimo I the imposing palace called Uffizi: the 16th century word meant Offices, as the palace had to be the seat of the offices of thirteen guild and magistrates. The top floor, completed in 1580, was destined to the collection of artworks of the Medici family, part of which is now visible with the tickets to the Uffizi Florence.
