Piazza della Santissima Annunziata is one of Florence’s most elegant and harmonious squares, located just a short walk from the Duomo. It is named after the Basilica of Santissima Annunziata, which dominates one end of the piazza and is a spiritual and architectural centerpiece.
The square is an outstanding example of urban planning, characterized by its symmetry and proportion. It reflects Renaissance ideals of order and harmony, making it one of Florence’s most aesthetically pleasing public spaces.
Over the centuries, the piazza has served as a gathering place for religious processions, markets, and festivals. Today, it remains a vibrant area, popular with locals and tourists.
Especially the yellow bar "UnCaffe - Da i' Sardo" is always well frequented and the yellow wall offers a great contrast to the otherwise relatively gray square.
