To celebrate our 10th Anniversary, we'll meet at the Le Murate Caffè Letterario, on Monday 6th of October 2025, at 21:00 (9 PM) for an aperitif.
The restaurant will serve some cold cuts, grilled vegetables, veg and non veg pizzas, veg and non veg first courses. There will be also a selected section of some typical dishes of the Tuscan cuisine. You can taste also some famous Tuscan wine, as well as cocktails, beers and soft drinks.
Often gathering students from the nearby Florence University, this restaurant will be the ideal setting for a Gophers' gathering to eat, drink, have fun and celebrate 10 years of GoLab.
A historical setting
The historical complex of "Le Murate" takes its name from the little cells in the buildings around the squadre, where some religious women decided to retire themselves in penitence since the last decades of the XIV Century.
In its long history this complex has gone from being a monastery to an educational center for girls from noble families hosting, among the others Catherine Sforza and Catherine of Medicis, future queen of France.
Following a flood that destroyed a large part of the complex, the nuns were transferred elsewhere and the premises were used as a prison. This function lasted until 1966, the year in which the most famous recent. flood of the Arno river destroyed the complex again, leaving it subsequently abandoned.
In the last decades the whole area has been refurbished: the cells have been converted into small accommodations for tourists and the square hosts the Le Murate Caffè Letterario where we will celebrate our anniversary, where often take place literary and cultural events.
