TheLoggia del Pesce is a historical building inFlorence,Italy. It is formed by nine wide arcades, supported by piers or columns. On each side are eight medallions depicting fishing activities and the sea. At the corners are four coats of arms.

It was commissioned by DukeCosimo I de' Medici toGiorgio Vasari, to house the fish market which had been previously held near thePonte Vecchio. Their place there was taken by theVasari Corridor.

During the urban renovation of Florence following theunification of Italy (1885–1895), theloggia was dismantled and most of its decoration went to the museum ofSan Marco. It was rebuilt in the Piazza Ciompi only in 1956, re-using most of the original materials.
