Palazzo dell'Arte della Seta, Renaissance palace in Florence, Italy.

The Palazzo dell'Arte della Seta stands on Via di Capaccio 3, featuring three floors with arched windows and decorative stone elements on its facade.

The palace became the headquarters of the Silk Guild in 1336 after purchasing a house from the Giandonati family and underwent renovations in 1423.

The exterior walls display graffiti decorations and friezes depicting the Art of Por Santa Maria, with winged cherubs and fruit garlands representing silk trade.

The building connects to the former church of Santa Maria Sopra Porta on the ground floor and extends to the upper levels of Palagio di Parte Guelfa.

Inside the palace, visitors will find historical frescoes, including a Virgin and Child attributed to Niccolò di Pietro Gerini from the medieval period.
