Seminary, Episcopal palace in San Miniato, Italy.
The building features a concave polyhedral facade that follows the ancient city walls, creating a curved architectural line overlooking Repubblica square.
Construction began in 1650 with accommodations for twelve clerics and continued with multiple expansions until its final completion in 1713.
In 1705, painter Francesco Chimenti created thirty frescoes on the facade depicting Virtues with biblical and patristic mottos selected by Bishop Francesco Maria Poggi.
The palace maintains 14th-century artisan workshops on the ground floor, while the upper levels house seminary spaces accessed by a double staircase.
The seminary's refectory contains a notable Last Supper painting created by artist Dilvo Lotti in the previous century.
