Villa di Castelpulci, Renaissance villa in Scandicci, Italy.
The villa stands at a prominent location in the Arno Valley, featuring an impressive facade designed by architect Gioacchino Fortini in the 18th century.
Originally a medieval castle owned by the Cadolingi counts, the property changed hands through noble families including the Pulci, Orsini, Soderini, and Riccardi.
The villa's chapel contains 13th-century frescoes depicting scenes from the life of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, attributed to artist Grifo di Tancredi.
The villa now serves as the headquarters of the Superior School of Magistracy, following extensive restoration work completed in 2012.
During the 1966 Florence flood, the villa temporarily stored books from the National Library to protect them from water damage.
