Palazzo Datini, Medieval palace in Prato, Italy
The palace features Gothic architectural elements, including a courtyard with a portico comprising two naves and a central stone well.
Francesco Datini, a successful merchant of weapons, jewels, and textiles, commissioned the construction of this residence in 1383.
The internal walls display frescoes by Niccolò di Pietro Gerini, Agnolo Gaddi, and other notable painters of the late 14th century.
The ground floor houses a museum that displays artifacts from medieval commerce, while the State Archives contain over 150,000 historical letters.
The palace's extensive collection of documents remained hidden within its walls from Datini's death until their discovery in the 1800s.
