Torre dei Belfredelli, Medieval tower in Florence, Italy
Torre dei Belfredelli rises seven stories high, constructed with stone bricks and featuring arched entrances along its robust exterior walls.
The Belfredelli family built this tower in the 13th century, and it endured damage during the Battle of Montaperti in 1260 when Hohenstaufen forces seized Florence.
The tower represents the architectural style of medieval Florence, with its stone construction methods and traditional design elements reflecting period craftsmanship.
Visitors can find the tower on Borgo San Jacopo street, with access available from major landmarks like Florence Cathedral and Ponte Vecchio.
German mines in 1944 led to reconstruction work that added an attic floor and large glass windows, modifying the original medieval structure.
