Palazzo Capponi alle Rovinate, Renaissance palazzo in Oltrarno district, Florence, Italy.

The palace features a 15th-century Gothic facade with rusticated stonework on the lower floor and mullioned windows arranged in irregular rows above.

Niccolò da Uzzano commissioned the construction of the palace in 1426, and after his death in 1432, it passed to the Capponi family.

The piano nobile contains a chapel decorated with an altarpiece by Pontormo and a stained glass window created by Guillaume de Marcillat in 1526.

The palace stands on Via de' Bardi, with its back facade overlooking the Arno River and facing the Hill of San Giorgio.

The name 'alle Rovinate' refers to the frequent landslides that occurred on the nearby hill until the 16th century.
