Complesso delle Oblate, Architectural ensemble with a library in Florence, Italy.
The Complesso delle Oblate contains multiple courtyards, a former church, and a public library spread across different architectural sections and levels.
Established in 1288, the complex originated as a charitable order dedicated to caring for ill people before evolving into a religious and hospital facility.
The Biblioteca delle Oblate within the complex maintains an extensive collection from the historic Biblioteca Comunale Centrale, serving scholars and public readers.
The library section operates extended hours until 23:00 on Wednesday through Friday, with different schedules for specific areas and collections.
The complex features Florence's only three-story cloister, topped by a terrace offering direct views of the Duomo and surrounding city landscape.
