The history of the complex starts from the Middle Ages, in fact in 1268 thanks to a group of friars and the contribution of the richest Florentine families arose the church of the blessed Virgin of the Carmel.
Although the facade of the church remains unfinished, and still composed of stones and bricks, over the years by the will of Duke Cosimo I, the architect Giorgio Vasari removed the partition, placed the choir in the presbytery and completely renovated the altars.
In 1771 due to a terrible fire part of the interior and furnishings of the church were lost.
The merit of the decorations of the chapel and the execution of the frescoes was the rich merchant and patron Felice Brancacci. Masolino and Masaccio worked side by side to the visual narration of the stories of Saint Peter. In late 1400 the cycle of frescoes was completed by Filippino Lippi
