Villa Le Brache, Renaissance villa in Castello district, Florence, Italy
Villa Le Brache extends across multiple levels with stone walls, towers, and loggias, surrounded by traditional Italian gardens at the Florence hills border.
The medieval structure transformed in the 14th century when the Tornabuoni family acquired it, adding new architectural elements and expanding the property grounds.
The villa contains preserved rooms with period decorations that reflect the architectural preferences of noble Florentine families through different centuries.
Visitors can access Villa Le Brache through its main entrance at Via Reginaldo Giuliani 546, which replaced the former access point on Via di Castello.
Since 1986, the Italian Buddhist Institute Soka Gakkai maintains this historical property, merging Eastern spirituality with Tuscan architectural heritage.
