Florence Charterhouse, Carthusian monastery in Galluzzo, Florence, Italy
The Florence Charterhouse stands on Monte Acuto at the meeting point of the Ema and Greve rivers, enclosed by high stone walls.
Nicola Acciaioli, a Florentine nobleman and Grand Seneschal of Naples, established the monastery in 1341 as a center for theological studies.
The chapter house contains five fresco lunettes by Renaissance painter Pontormo, depicting religious scenes with detailed artistry.
The monastery opens its doors to visitors who can explore the main church, cloister, and courtyards while following designated paths.
The International Society for the Study of Medieval Latin Literature maintains its headquarters within this monastic complex.
