Loggia de' Rucellai, Renaissance loggia in Via della Vigna Nuova, Florence, Italy

The Loggia de' Rucellai features three rounded arches supported by columns, with an architrave displaying the family's coat of arms.

Giovanni di Paolo Rucellai commissioned the construction of this loggia in the 1460s, completing it before June 1466 for his son's wedding celebration.

The structure served as a gathering space for the Rucellai family's ceremonies and celebrations, hosting up to 500 guests during important events.

Located opposite to Palazzo Rucellai, the loggia now functions as a commercial space while maintaining its architectural significance.

The building's facade remains unfinished on one side, revealing the original plans for potential expansion during the Renaissance period.
