Villa del Palco, Renaissance villa in Prato, Italy
The Villa del Palco features two cloisters, one with Ionic columns from the Renaissance period and another from the 17th century expansion.
Francesco Datini, a merchant from Prato, constructed the villa between 1392 and 1396, later transferring it to the Franciscans of San Girolamo in Fiesole.
The Church of San Francesco within the complex contains notable paintings, including the Stigmata of Saint Francis by Santi di Tito.
The villa currently serves as a retreat center managed by the Diocese, offering spaces for meditation and interfaith gatherings.
During World War II, the villa provided a secret shelter for the treasures of the Florence Synagogue.
