Oratory of Gesù Pellegrino, Renaissance oratory in Historic Centre of Florence, Italy.

The Oratory of Gesù Pellegrino stands at the intersection of Via San Gallo and Via degli Arazzieri, featuring a simple exterior and decorated interior spaces.

In 1313, Bishop Antonio d'Orso established this location as a hospice for pilgrim priests, which later transformed into a dedicated religious space.

The interior walls display a complete fresco cycle and three altarpieces depicting the Life of Christ, painted by Giovanni Balducci in 1590.

The Oratory maintains its position at Via San Gallo 31 in Florence, requiring approximately 45 minutes to explore its architectural and artistic elements.

The building houses the tomb of Arlotto Mainardi, a parish priest from 1396 to 1484, near its entrance in the nave section.
