Description

Il toponimo Doccia, da non confondere con la frazione di Sesto Fiorentino, deriva invece dalla sorgente dell'Affrico, che sgorga proprio sotto al convento.

Nata come convento di San Michele a Doccia, fu fatto costruire nel 1413, in posizione dominante sulla città, da Ser Niccolò Davanzati, che aveva acquistato un podere in quella località appositamente per ospitare i frati terziari della Diocesi di Fiesole. Niccolò Davanzati regalò poi il convento a frate Francesco da Scarlino, terziario francescano, che, con le elemosine raccolte, lo poté ingrandire, facendo costruire anche una chiesa dedicata a San Michele Arcangelo. Questi frati furono poi espulsi dal convento perché uno di loro aveva ucciso un compagno così i Davanzati lo donarono ai Minori Osservanti, nel 1486 e vi rimasero fino al 1808.
