Palazzo Guadagni, Renaissance palace in Santo Spirito Square, Florence, Italy.

The palazzo features a stone facade with rectangular windows on the ground floor and framed openings on the upper levels, culminating in a rooftop loggia.

Built in 1505 for silk merchant Riniero Dei, the palace later passed to the Guadagni family through an auction held by the Buonomini di San Martino organization.

The building hosted the German Institute of Art History from 1912 to 1964 and houses Florence's first public library, the Pietro Thouar library.

Located at the intersection of Via Mazzetta, the palace provides direct access to antique shops, artisan workshops, and traditional Tuscan restaurants in the Oltrarno district.

The rooftop loggia, the first of its kind in Florence, offers views of the city center, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti, and the surrounding hills.

Location: Florence

Architects: Baccio d'Agnolo
