Loggia

A significant architectural feature of Florence is the loggia, a covered space for walking in case of rain or heavy sunshine. Here is one that isn't attached to anything.


This one is on the outside of a building.


This one is on the inside, in this case the Palazzo Strozzi in the rain. There is a cafe inside.


This is a kind of loggia that's upstairs in the Palazzo Strozzi. Only the living quarters for the family are enclosed.


You can enjoy the sunshine without sitting in it.


The side aisles in the Duomo also look rather like loggias. The Duomo is generally Gothic.
