Torre dei Donati, Medieval tower in Santa Croce district, Florence, Italy
The Torre dei Donati stands as a residential structure incorporating two former towers, reaching a substantial height in the center of Florence.
Built in the 12th century, the tower emerged from the union of two separate towers owned by the Ricci and Donati families around the mid-13th century.
The tower holds connections to Gemma Donati, who married Dante Alighieri, and remained a witness to the works of Brunelleschi and Ghiberti.
Visitors can now stay in luxury suites equipped with kitchenettes, air conditioning, smart TVs, and marble-floor bathrooms within the historic structure.
The rooftop features a heated bathtub offering views across Florence, including perspectives of the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and Santa Croce Cathedral.
