Description:

The Porta della Mandorla is the left side door of the north side of the Duomo of Florence, in front of Via Ricasoli. It was built from 1391 to 1423, with various sculptors, including Donatello and, above all, Nanni di Banco. It owes its name to the representation in the tympanum of the Assumption of the Virgin within an almond-shaped nimbus. It is particularly significant in showing a transition from the Late Gothic to Early Renaissance. The small nudes on the archivolt are among the earliest fully classicist works in Florence. In 1869-1871 restoration works were carried out, which removed some reliefs around the arch (apex and outer side) replacing them with copies. A recent restoration was completed in 2012.
