Palazzo Spini Feroni, Gothic palace in central Florence, Italy

The stone palace spans an entire block at the corner of Piazza Santa Trinita, featuring high arches and a protruding cornice with medieval merlons.

Built in 1289 by merchant Geri Spini, the palace rivaled Palazzo Vecchio in size and remained the largest private residence in Florence for centuries.

The palace contains a chapel with 1612 frescoes by Bernardino Poccetti showing Paradise scenes, musicians, and shepherds in gilded stucco frames.

The ground floor of Palazzo Spini Feroni houses the Ferragamo Museum, displaying collections of the renowned Italian shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo.

An ancient well in the underground section, called Beatrice's Well, marks the location where Dante allegedly met Beatrice Portinari near Santa Trinita Bridge.
