According to a source, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and West will wed at the beautiful Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy, People reported.

The sixteenth-century fortress reopened to the public in 2013 after five years of renovations. The grounds provide outlooks over Florence in addition to buildings used to host works of art and contemporary sculptures.

Kardashian, 33, and the rapper, 36, are reportedly dishing out around 300,000 euros to rent the property on the weekend of May 24. Prior to exchanging vows in Florence, the nuptials may begin with a dinner in Paris, People reported.

West has reportedly been spending a lot of time in Florence recently, studying under fashion designer Ermanno Scervino and creating a new album he'll entitle "Made in Florence."

"I adore Florence. I love Italy and the Italian lifestyle. To tell you the truth, I already came to the banks of the Arno [river] with Kim last year, just the two of us, incognito," West told Florence's La Nazione newspaper on Friday, according to Us Weekly.

"I think that our daughter North was conceived here among the Renaissance masterpieces. It was our first honeymoon. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world -- for me, the most beautiful in Europe."

Kardashian reportedly celebrated her Parisian-themed bridal shower on May 10 at The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.

"It was really beautiful. A gorgeous day," an insider source told Us. "Some of Kanye's family came in for it."

Kardashian was also reportedly joined by her mother Kris Jenner, her sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian, as well as her half-sisters Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner. Singer Ciara was also allegedly present at the bridal event.
