As there was a lot of abandoned babies in the 1400s, Florence needed to establish an institution which would take care of them. This Renaissance complex was built in the 1440s to serve as a children's orphanage and operated as one until the 19th century. It was designed by Filippo Brunelleschi.
Today the complex houses a small museum showcasing Renaissance art. The collection includes artworks by Luca della Robbia or Sandro Botticelli.
