Torre dei Belfredelli, Medieval tower in Oltrarno, Florence, Italy

Torre dei Belfredelli is a medieval stone tower at borgo San Jacopo 9, on the corner of via dei Belfredelli and via de' Ramaglianti in the Oltrarno. It is among the tallest towers still standing in Florence, faced in exposed filaretto stone, with irregularly placed windows and putlog holes with corbels. Ivy covers the lower part of its roof, and a modern attic tops the rebuilt upper section.

The Belfredelli family built this tower in the 13th century as a residential fortress. The building survived through the centuries despite suffering damage from military events and warfare.

The tower takes its name from the Guelph Belfredelli family, who owned several houses on this street, including one at number 11. It is also called torre del Corno, after a later owner. The private garden of oleanders in front of it was reduced to a car park by 2011.

The tower sits on Borgo San Jacopo street near the Ponte Vecchio in the old city center. Visitors can reach it on foot easily from the main landmarks and attractions.

The tower does not share walls with the adjacent Torre dei Ramaglianti, a deliberate feature of medieval building practice: if one collapsed or was demolished, the other would not be dragged down with it. The two towers lean against each other at the rear while keeping separate perimeter walls.
