Built in the fifteenth century, the Ospedale Degli Innocenti ("foundling hospital") is situated in Piazza della Santissima Annunziata. The famous Portico by Brunelleschi (1419), along its facade, is one of the first masterpieces of Renaissance architecture. In the second half of fifteenth century, ten terracotta medallions by Andrea della Robbia were added to the upper part of the portico. The Raccolta di affreschi staccati and the Pinacoteca contain paintings from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
