A Hidden Gem: Certosa di Firenze

Situated on Monte Acuto, the Certosa di Firenze, founded in 1341 by Niccolò Acciaioli, is a key site for those interested in religious history and architecture.

This Carthusian monastery is significant both architecturally and culturally, having been expanded over the centuries. The chapter house contains five fresco lunettes by Pontormo, though damaged, they embody the artistry of the period. Additionally, the monastery inspired Le Corbusier's urban projects and serves as a cultural institute.
