Biblioteca delle Oblate, Public and children's library in central Florence, Italy
The Biblioteca delle Oblate spans three levels in a former convent building, featuring reading rooms, multimedia stations, and study spaces for visitors.
The building originated in 1288 as part of a secular charitable order, later transforming into a modern library facility that opened in May 2007.
The library combines Gothic architecture with modern amenities, hosting regular exhibitions, workshops, and community events throughout its spacious halls and terraces.
Located at Via dell'Oriuolo 24, the library operates Monday from 14:00 to 22:00 and Tuesday through Saturday from 09:00 to midnight.
The ground floor houses a 300-square-meter children's section designed for readers up to age 14, while the upper terrace presents views of Florence.
