Ospedale del Ceppo
A few steps from Piazza Duomo, heading north, is the Ospedale del Ceppo, the most important social institution of Pistoia. The building was built in the 13th century. The facade is decorated with a beautiful Florentine portico and by the famous Robbiano frieze that runs, horizontally, over the entire facade.
