Palazzo dei Canonici, Renaissance palace near Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, Florence, Italy

The central building features a balcony supported by four Ionic columns, with two alcoves containing statues of cathedral architects.

Between 1826 and 1839, architect Gaetano Baccani replaced several old structures to create three large palaces for cathedral clergymen.

The palace exhibits statues of Arnolfo di Cambio and Filippo Brunelleschi, created by sculptor Luigi Pampaloni in 1830.

Located on Piazza del Duomo's south side, the palace functions as the rectory of Florence Cathedral and remains closed to public visits.

A stone on the eastern side of the palace, known as 'sasso di Dante,' marks where the poet observed cathedral construction.
