Palazzo Gherardi

Palazzo Gherardi is a 15th-century building in the Santa croce quarter of Florence, Tuscany, in central Italy.

Along Via Ghibellina, at ground level, besides the doors, there are a series of square stone windows with grills.

There is another service entrance on Via dei Pepi, as well as what seems to be a modern door, now closed by a glass pane, and an artisan's workshop.

This notwithstanding, the design is sober, even austere, as is typical of XV century Florentine architecture.

The main staircase, leading to the second floor occupied by private flats, has a stone handrail.
