The Badia Fiorentina, a historic abbey and church in Florence, Italy, is now home to the Monastic Communities of Jerusalem. Founded in 978 by Countess Willa of Tuscany, this place has seen its fair share of history, from Dante supposedly hearing monks chant Latin Gregorian hymns to Boccaccio delivering lectures on Dante's Divine Comedy. With stunning artworks like Filippino Lippi's "Apparition of the Virgin to St. Bernard" and Mino da Fiesole's tombs, this place is not just a religious site but also a treasure trove of art and culture.
