Chiesa di Santa Monica, Former church in Oltrarno district, Florence, Italy.
The Renaissance church features a simple facade with a 15th-century portal and displays the Capponi family crest above the entrance point.
The monastery received funding from Ubertino de' Bardi in 1442 after Augustinian nuns from Castiglion Fiorentino sought protection during military conflicts.
The church ceiling contains frescoes of the Glory of San Martino, painted by Cosimo Ulivelli in 1700, alongside a wooden choir and organ from the 1600s.
The deconsecrated building now functions as a cultural center, offering regular opera performances, concerts, exhibitions, and events throughout the year.
Camilla Martelli, who became the wife of Cosimo I de Medici, received education in this monastery and later returned as a prisoner until her death.
