Florence Charterhouse is a charterhouse, or Carthusian monastery, located in the Florence suburb of Galluzzo, in central Italy. The building is a walled complex located on Monte Acuto, at the point of confluence of the Ema and Greve rivers.
The charterhouse was founded in 1341 by the Florentine noble Niccolò Acciaioli, Grand Seneschal of the Kingdom of Naples, but continued to expand over the centuries as the recipient of numerous donations. The monastery was also named "Palazzo agli Studi" as Acciaioli wanted to build a school of theology and philosophy attached to it.
It is dedicated to the martyr Saint Lawrence.
In 1958 the monastery was taken over by Cistercian monks.
The chapter house now holds five fresco lunettes by Pontormo from the cloister, damaged by exposure to the elements.
The charterhouse inspired Le Corbusier for his urban projects.
The monastery houses the Società Internazionale per lo Studio del Medioevo Latino, an Italian non-profit cultural institute.

The Fonte della Fata Morgana, locally also called '"Casina delle Fate", at Grassina, is a small garden building located not far from Florence, Italy, in the comune of Bagno a Ripoli. It was built in 1573–1574 as a garden feature in the extensive grounds of the Villa il Riposo of Bernardo Vecchietti on the slope of the hill called Fattucchia.
The Fonte della Fata Morgana at one time was enriched by sculptures, including a bust of Morgana by Flemish artist Giambologna in the nymphaeum, which is now in a private collection. The site has been under restoration and redevelopment since 2016.
It is among that group of artificial garden grottoes and nymphaeums made for private gardens, and less well known than those in the Boboli Gardens or the Medici villa at Pratolino.
