Florence - Fish Hall

(Local Name: Loggia del Pesce) Like the Loggia di Mercato Nuovo the Loggia del Pesce was designed as a freestanding building. The architect was Vasari (1567) and it was originally part of the old market on the present Piazza della Repubblica. It has only stood here on the Piazza dei Ciompi, the site of the flea market, since the end of the 19th century.
