Badia Fiorentina

Badia Fiorentina

The Badia Fiorentina is an abbey in Florence, Italy.  I was first interested in seeing it because it appears in the Inferno movie which was released in 2016.  In fact, Zobrist jumps to his death from this bell tower.  When my daughter and I visited Florence in 2025 we had a few extra minutes before our next tour, so we used google maps to find Badia Fiorentina.  We didn't have time to go inside, but we did happen to be there on a Monday, which is the only day it's open to tourists -- from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., with the last entrance offered at 5 p.m.  Their official website is here:  Badia Fiorentina

The google maps location of Badia Fiorentina is here:  Badia Fiorentina  It is only a few minutes' walk from the Palazzo Vecchio.

This bell tower is supposed to be where Zobrist fell to his death in the Inferno movie
