Badia Fiorentina, Gothic abbey in central Florence, Italy
The Badia Fiorentina features a tall stone campanile, Gothic elements, and a cloister decorated with orange trees and frescoes depicting Saint Benedict.
Founded in 978 by Willa of Tuscany, the abbey underwent reconstruction in 1285 under architect Arnolfo di Cambio who incorporated the Gothic architectural style.
The Badia holds Filippino Lippi's masterpiece depicting the Virgin appearing to Saint Bernard, painted between 1482 and 1486 for Piero del Pugliese.
The Fraternità di Gerusalemme monks gather three times daily for prayers, with mass at 6:30 PM and vespers at 6:00 PM open to visitors.
The monastery bell tower marked the primary time divisions for medieval Florence, guiding the daily activities of the entire city population.
