History of Uffizi Gallery
The huge building which houses Uffizi Gallery was not constructed to be a museum. The construction started during Cosimi I in the year 1560 for housing the judiciary and administrative office of Florence.
Cosimo appointed Giorgio Vasari for designing this building which is a source of admiration.

Corridoio Vsariano got constructed in the celebration in connection with Cosmo’s son’s marriage. Uffizi Gallery was constructed by demolishing many other buildings in the place for space that includes San Pier Scheraggio which was a major Romanesque church.
