Torre dei Mannelli, Medieval tower at Ponte Vecchio corner, Florence, Italy
The Torre dei Mannelli stands on the southeast corner of Ponte Vecchio, featuring a rectangular stone construction with traditional Florentine architectural elements.
Built during medieval times, this defensive tower remains as the last of four structures that protected the corners of Ponte Vecchio during the 13th century.
The Mannelli family's refusal to modify their tower in 1565 forced architects to design the Vasari Corridor with a curved path around the structure.
The ground floor of Torre dei Mannelli contains a gelato shop, making it a convenient stop while exploring the Ponte Vecchio area.
The tower underwent restoration work by architect Nello Baroni between 1944 and 1946 following damage sustained during World War II.
