Palazzo Donati, Medieval tower and architectural complex in central Florence, Italy.

The Palazzo Donati stands as the tallest remaining medieval private tower in Florence's historic center, featuring traditional stone construction and architectural details.

Dating from the medieval period, this tower belonged to the influential Donati family who maintained considerable power in Florence during the 13th century.

The structure represents the period when wealthy Florentine families constructed tall towers as symbols of their status and influence in the city's social hierarchy.

Visitors can access the tower's panoramic terrace from April through October, offering views across Florence's monuments and architectural landmarks.

The rooftop incorporates a heated bathtub where guests can observe the Florence skyline while the June 24th Saint's Day fireworks illuminate the city.
