The raised passage, one kilometre long, hosts today  a part of the Uffizi’s paintings collection and the  biggest portraits selection in the world and it probably represents the most suggestive place  for the visitor, evocating fantasies  If under an architectural point of view, the idea of a raised passage was  very innovative, the interior, besides the mentioned collections, distinguish itself overall by a scenographical view on the river and on the Santa Felicita Church. In reality, from the corridor it is possible to see the interior of the church as so the Medici family saw it when they assisted the Mass, without being seen by the people staying at the ground floor ; along a wall there is indeed a window facing the original Medicean stage.
