Piazza San Firenze in Florence is named after the complex of San Filippo Neri, also known as San Firenze due to a distortion of the name of a pre-existing building dedicated to St. Fiorenzo. The square has an elongated "almond" shape and on the east side is dominated by the facade of the San Firenze complex with the church of San Filippo Neri, a monumental Baroque building that housed the convent of the Philippians, featuring a grand facade from 1667 designed by Pier Francesco Silvani and completed only in 1772. Until 2012, it housed the Court and judicial offices. In 2013, it was pedestrianized by the Renzi administration. Opposite stands the Gondi Palace, a refined example of Florentine residential architecture from the 15th century, designed by Giuliano da San Gallo and expanded in the 19th century. Two churches used to overlook the square: the church of Sant'Apollinare, perhaps founded even in the 6th century by the Byzantines and destroyed in the 17th century, and the aforementioned church of San Fiorenzo; the former was located just beneath the current chapel of San Filippo Neri, while the latter was on the opposite side and was demolished to make way for the square. On the southwest side rises the rear corner of Palazzo Vecchio, in front of the Columbia Parlamento palace, which was previously a hotel during the time when Florence was the capital, hosting members of the Italian Parliament who gathered in Palazzo Vecchio. In Piazza San Firenze, there is the consulate of Peru.
