Torre degli Alberti
The Torre degli Alberti is a XIII century medieval tower in
Alberti
, one of the most numerous and powerful families in the medieval Florence.
It was once sided by a ditch (a nearby church was known as
mullioned windows, now replaced by normal windows. At the base is a small loggia
from the 15th century, whose capitals show the Alberti coat of arms, featuring two crossing chains. After the Florentine branch of the family disappeared in 1836, it was owned by other families such as the Ubaldini and Mori. It was restored during the 1990s.
