Orsanmichele, Gothic church in central Florence, Italy.
The church features fourteen external niches adorned with statues representing the patron saints of Florence's major trade guilds.
Originally constructed in 1337 as a grain market, the building transformed into a church between 1380 and 1404 under Florentine guild supervision.
The statues in the external niches, created by masters like Donatello and Verrocchio, demonstrate the relationship between commerce and religion in medieval Florence.
Located at Via dell'Arte della Lana, the church opens daily from 10:00 to 16:50, except for Mondays in August.
The interior contains a marble tabernacle by Andrea Orcagna from 1359, housing a painting of the Virgin by Bernardo Daddi from 1347.

Florence displays Renaissance architecture and art at every street corner. The city features 15th-century buildings, churches with marble facades, and museums with old master paintings. The Arno River divides the city while Ponte Vecchio spans across. From the hills, views extend over the red roofs and the cathedral dome.
