Ex monastero di Santa Verdiana, Medieval monastery in Florence, Italy.
The monastery complex features octagonal pillars, acanthus leaf capitals, and a central cloister with multiple architectural elements from different periods.
Founded in 1391 by notary Niccolò di Manetto di Buonagiunta for Vallombrosan nuns, the monastery received protection from Florence's government in 1402.
The monastery church contained notable artworks, including The Baptism of Christ by Andrea del Verrocchio and Leonardo da Vinci, now in the Uffizi Gallery.
The former religious complex stands between Via dell'Agnolo, Via Santa Verdiana, Piazza Ghiberti, and Largo Annigoni, near the Sant'Ambrogio market.
After Napoleon's suppression in 1808, the monastery transformed into a public slaughterhouse and later became a women's prison in 1865.
