Granaio dell'Abbondanza, Historic granary in Oltrarno district, Florence, Italy.

The Granaio dell'Abbondanza features a square layout resembling a stronghold, with the Medici family coat of arms adorning its exterior facade.

Grand Duke Cosimo III de' Medici commissioned architect Giovanni Battista Foggini to construct this granary in 1695, replacing the insufficient Loggia del Grano.

The building transformed from a grain storage facility to a military bakery, and later served as a location for military service notifications.

Located at coordinates 43.770675N, 11.243336E, the building now houses the programming school 42 Firenze and startup studio Nana Bianca.

The construction required demolishing a wool granary that gave its name to the nearby Piazza del Tiratoio, connecting past and present urban development.

Location: Florence

Inception: 1695
