Ex monastero di Santa Teresa, Former Carmelite monastery in Florence, Italy
The Ex Monastero di Santa Teresa features multiple buildings with minimal windows, high walls, and a single entrance from Via della Mattonaia.
Founded in 1628 by Discalced Carmelites, the monastery housed Saint Teresa Margherita Redi from 1765 to 1770, until her death at age 23.
The monastery includes a Baroque church with a central plan and hexagonal dome, reflecting the architectural preferences of 17th-century religious buildings.
The complex now serves as a semi-detention facility and partially houses classrooms for the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Florence.
The monastery survived the Florence flood of 1966 and underwent subsequent restoration, marking a turning point in its preservation history.
