Video - The Curious History of Palazzo Strozzi

Built in the late 15th century, it was commissioned by Filippo Strozzi, who was so keen on outshining his rival Medici family that he ordered the palace to be larger and more luxurious. But here’s the kicker: Filippo died before it was completed, and his enemies actually imprisoned him in his own unfinished palace! Talk about house arrest. Legend has it, the palace was designed with secret passages and hidden rooms. Who wouldn't want a game of medieval hide-and-seek there? What's the most interesting historical building you've visited?
