Palazzo Pandolfini, Renaissance palazzo in San Marco, Florence, Italy.
Palazzo Pandolfini is a Renaissance residence in San Marco featuring a two-story structure with symmetrical stone walls, arched windows, and geometric proportions derived from classical Roman design. The building's classical features are evident throughout its exterior along Via San Gallo.
The building was designed by Raphael between 1513 and 1514, with construction beginning in 1516 under the supervision of Giovanfrancesco and Bastiano da Sangallo. An addition of a greenhouse in the 18th century transformed part of the structure for botanical purposes.
The facade of this palazzo inspired multiple artists over the centuries, including Prosper Barbot who created detailed drawings during his Italian travels. The building continues to attract attention as a reference for understanding early 16th-century Florentine design.
The palazzo is located at Via San Gallo 745 in Florence and allows visitors to view Renaissance architectural details from the street. The best time to visit is during a bright morning when light highlights the details of the stone facade.
In the 18th century, a greenhouse was added that transformed part of this residence into a space for botanical studies. This conversion shows how the palazzo adapted over time to the changing interests of its residents.
