Loggia della Mercanzia, Renaissance trading building in Piazza Banchi, Genoa, Italy.
The Loggia della Mercanzia features a large vaulted ceiling supported by twin Doric columns and prominent arches without internal support structures.
Built between 1589 and 1595 by architect Andrea Ceresola, the building served as Genoa Stock Exchange from 1855 to 1912.
The rear wall displays a preserved fresco by Pietro Sorri depicting Madonna with Child and Saints John the Baptist and George.
The building remains temporarily closed to visitors while undergoing transformation into the Museum of the History of the City of Genoa.
Recent excavations in 2021 uncovered medieval remains, including currency exchange counters belonging to the Usodimare family beneath the structure.
