San Salvi, Psychiatric hospital in Florence, Italy

The San Salvi complex features several pavilions with original nineteenth-century architecture designed by engineer Giacomo Roster to accommodate mental health patients.

Founded in 1887 and opened in 1891, San Salvi served as a psychiatric facility until 1998, marking over a century of mental health care in Florence.

The facility's transformation into a cultural space allows visitors to examine the evolution of psychiatric treatment methods through exhibits and preserved medical equipment.

Located at coordinates 43.7708°N and 11.2867°E, the complex remains accessible for guided tours that explore the medical heritage of Florence.

The refectory contains Andrea del Sarto's Last Supper fresco from 1527, completed in just 64 days and preserved despite the destruction during the 1529 siege.
