Loggia del Grano, 17th-century grain market and former theater near Palazzo Vecchio, Florence, Italy
The rectangular structure features an open ground floor arcade with columns and an upper section that housed grain storage facilities in past centuries.
Grand Duke Cosimo II de'Medici commissioned architect Giulio Parigi to construct this marketplace in 1619, replacing Orsanmichele's previous grain distribution function.
The building's facade displays a marble bust of Cosimo II created by Chiarissimo Fancelli, along with the Mascherone fountain at its northwest corner.
The structure stands at the intersection of Via de' Neri and Via dei Castellani, providing direct access from the Uffizi Gallery exit.
The upper floors transformed from grain storage to theater, then cinema Edison, and finally into a modern dining establishment.
