Torre dei Gianfigliazzi, Medieval tower near Santa Trinita church, Florence, Italy.
The Torre dei Gianfigliazzi stands six stories tall with stone walls, featuring traditional Romanesque arches and rectangular windows across its facade.
Built for the Ruggerini family, demolished in 1260, and reconstructed for the Fastelli family before becoming the property of the Gianfigliazzi until 1760.
The tower served as the Nobles' Academy in the early 1800s, hosting notable Italian writers and political figures including Alessandro Manzoni and Louis Bonaparte.
Located at Via de' Tornabuoni 1, the tower operates as a hotel, offering visitors the opportunity to stay in a genuine medieval structure.
The 1841 renovation added distinctive merlons to the tower's crown, drawing inspiration from the architectural elements of the neighboring Palazzo Spini Feroni.
