Giardino San Francesco di Paola, Former convent with garden in Bellosguardo, Italy.
The structure features gray stone loggia adorned with sculptures, while cypress trees line the entrance pathway to the Renaissance building complex.
The Minimi monks established their presence in 1583 through a land donation from the Strozzi family, leading to the construction by architect Gherardo Silvani.
Sculptor Adolf Hildebrand transformed the property into an artistic hub in 1874, hosting influential figures and adding his own sculptural works to the premises.
The site includes an English-style park with winding paths, statues, and raised terraces that visitors can explore throughout the grounds.
From specific points within the park, guests can observe Florence's center, including views of Palazzo Pitti and numerous church structures across the landscape.
