the Antico Spedale del Bigallo
|
With a breathtaking view of Florence below, the Antico Spedale del Bigallo is a medieval building of 13th century, which lies on a hill 5 km. SE of the city.
Formerly it functioned as hospital for pilgrims and wayfarers and in
the 16th century it became a monastery. Today it is a modern and
comfortable Youth Hostel with 50 beds housed in appealing medieval
dormitories. The Bigallo Youth Hostel welcomes third millennium
pilgrims who yearn to live in an atmosphere outside of time and space
and who enjoy both the beauty of nature and of the nearby art centres
of Tuscany.
The Antico Spedale del Bigallo also has a ceremony room
with space for 100 seats, fit for public and private gatherings, such
as weddings, anniversaries, concerts, art exhibitions, meetings and/or
conferences
