San Procolo

San Procolo is a Romanesque church located in central Florence featuring a distinctive rose window and two large side windows in stone. Its interior layout reflects changes made during the 1700s when the building underwent significant structural modifications.

This church was founded in the 13th century as an important religious center in Florence. Over time it lost its active religious function and was eventually deconsecrated, passing into private ownership.

The church once served as an important religious site housing significant artworks that are now scattered across the city's museums. Visitors interested in medieval art can trace these displaced pieces through Florence's galleries.

The building is not open to the public since it was deconsecrated and is now privately owned. Visitors can view the exterior facade from the surrounding streets but cannot enter.

The devastating Arno flood of 1966 caused severe damage to the building and resulted in the displacement of many medieval artworks that once decorated its interior. Several of these rescued pieces are now visible in city museums.
