The Loggia del Mercato Nuovo popularly known as the Loggia del Porcellino because of the Bronze Boar at one end, Florence, Italy


The loggia was built around the middle of the 16th century in the heart of the city, just a few steps from the Ponte Vecchio. Initially, it was intended for the sale of silk and luxury goods and then for the famous straw hats,[1] but today mainly leather goods and souvenirs are sold.
