Sant'Ilario a Colombaia, Renaissance church near Porta Romana, Florence, Italy

Sant'Ilario a Colombaia features a simple fourteenth-century portico with three arches and contains damaged 14th-15th century frescoes displaying courtly scenes.

Documentation from 1072 indicates an oratory at this location, which expanded into a church by the 14th century and underwent reconstruction after damage in 1325.
