Palazzo di Parte Guelfa

During the Middle Ages, it was the medieval headquarters of the Guelph party in the city (Parte Guelfa).

According to Giovanni Villani's Cronica, in 1267 the Florentine Guelph party did not own a seat, and held its meeting in the church of Santa Maria sopra la Porta.

In the 16th century Giorgio Vasari added to it a coffered ceiling, as well as building a new staircase and other sections.

Remaining artworks include a lunette by Luca della Robbia (above the façade portal), taken from the demolished church of San Pier Buonconsigio, a small loggia by Vasari and a Medici crest sculpted by Giambologna.

It currently houses meetings and conventions, cultural exhibitions, and is the seat of the organization of Calcio Storico Fiorentino and of the historical re-enactments of the Florentine Republic.
