Le Murate
Florence may be known as an epicenter of Renaissance art, but for something different, join locals at this former convent and prison that is now a contemporary art gallery, café, and event space. Works by artists from across the globe are showcased here—where former prison cells are often used as exhibit space—and there's an emphasis on multimedia installations. There's live music on many nights, and the kitchen and bar offer classic cocktails, aperitivo-fare, and full meals until late.
