Orsanmichele is a church situated in the center of Florence, close to the Piazza della Signoria. It was originally built in the 14th century as a grain market. Today the lower floor is used as a church while the upper floors house a small museum.
It was built in 1337 as a grain market. It replaced an earlier grain market which was destroyed by fire in 1304.
Shortly after the new building was completed, miraculous appearances of the Madonna were reported. And even more miraculously, a painting appeared on one of the pillars in the grain market.
