Villa di Torregalli
Via di Scandicci 301
The garden and chapel are open to the public on the first Sunday of every month.
The Villa di Torregalli (or Castello di Torre Galli), part of a system of fortifications in the Soffiano area, belonged to the Nerli family.
In the 17th century ownership passed to the Galli family, who altered the garden, and in 1868 it became the property of Paolo Gentile Farinola, who rebuilt the battlements in medieval style and added a new crape on a Latin cross plan to a design by architect Luigi Del Moro.
The castle was sold to Baron Ritter de Zahony in the 1930s and the garden suffered serious damage thereafter.
The estate, declared a monument of historical and artistic interest in 1991 and listed accordingly, is now owned by a condominium.
