Excellent attraction that may not get as much attention as the other dominant ones close by.
An in-depth museum that provides a rich history for what it once was: a charitable organisation for children abandoned by their parents. And although its conception was for a sad, somber cause, the architecture of this place is anything but. Brunelleschi designed this complex with the prowess shown throughout his other works around the city, the pillars seen here similar to the ones that hold up Basilica di Santo Spirito.
Upstairs you will find artwork from a variety of well-known artists, as well as a charming cafe that serves both food and drinks (albeit for a very hefty price), the view, however, makes up for it.
