Biblioteca delle Oblate

Biblioteca delle Oblate

Founded in 1288, the secular charitable order of the Oblates was committed to assisting the ill and infirm. The vast religious and hospital complex, which has simple 15th-century architecture and has handed down the name of the Oblates, now houses the Biblioteca delle Oblate, which has been expanded with the exceptional collection of the historic Biblioteca Comunale Centrale.

One of the most attractive parts of the complex is the elegant cloister, the only one in Florence with three floors, which is topped by a terrace with panoramic views.

On the ground floor of the library, there is the Children and Boys Section which occupies a space of about 300 square meters, reserved for all readers from 0 to 14 years.
