Located on the south side of the Arno just east of Ponte Santa Trinita, the church of San Jacopo Soprarno was extant in the 11th century, if not the 10th. It was designated as a parish church in the early twelfth century. In the sixteenth century it was home to a group of Franciscan friars and then the Scopetini until 1703. The church was significantly renovated in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, but traces of its Romanesque origins are visible in the facade and interior.
