Museum of the Ancient Bishops' Palace

History inside the bishops’ palace

The Museum of the Ancient Palace of the Bishops is one of the most important cultural stops in Piazza del Duomo. The building itself is part of the story, connecting religious authority, civic life and the long history of the square.

Inside, visitors can discover art, archaeology and historic spaces that reveal different layers of Pistoia’s past. It is a strong recommendation for travellers who want to understand the city beyond its façades.

Pair it with the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the Civic Museum for a complete museum-focused itinerary in the heart of Pistoia.
