Torre dei Belfredelli, Medieval tower in Florence, Italy
Torre dei Belfredelli is a stone residential tower with seven stories in central Florence. The structure displays characteristic features of medieval Florentine architecture with robust walls and window openings distributed across its facade.
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 stands on a busy street and shows the building style that wealthy families preferred in the city. Its design with thick walls and arched entrances reveals how Florentine families displayed their power through architecture.
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.
During World War II, the structure suffered damage from bombing. The reconstruction work after 1944 significantly changed the tower's original appearance with a new upper floor.
