Oblong Contemporary Gallery in Florence is located in one of the most unique and special locations of the city.

 The gallery space is set up in a deconsacrated church in Piazza del Carmine, which was initially used by the confraternity of the Chapel of Santa Agnese, the frescoed chapel on the left side of the Carmine church.

Towards the end of the 18th century, the rooms leaning against the church and used by the friars, in bad conditions, were alienated and sold. Among the various activities that occupied the deconsecrated church, there was a carpenter and subsequent restaurants. The beautiful mezzanine we have today is the work of an important architect, Italo Rota, while the appearance of the beautiful alcove where Oblong Contemporary's artists are now located is a neo-Gothic chapel, repainted in the late 19th century, making the space one of the most interesting and particular locations for a contemporary art gallery.
