Palazzo dei Diavoli, Medieval stone palazzo in Isolotto, Florence, Italy.

The building displays sandstone walls and a tower structure, reflecting the architectural characteristics of early Florentine residential constructions.

Built in the 13th century as a tower house, the palazzo belonged to the Alberti family from 1427 until the late 16th century.

Local farmers developed numerous stories about the building, connecting its austere appearance to supernatural elements and mysterious gatherings.

The palazzo stands at number 30 on Via del Palazzo dei Diavoli, accessible from central Florence through public transportation.

Three different explanations exist for its name: devil-built overnight, Ghibelline connection, and the road's fork requiring a decision.
