Other walks close to Fortezza.

Sorted by distance from the start of fortezza da basso: the medici fortress and the working north. Good for stitching together a longer day.

The Medici's own church, a cast-iron food hall, and the street-market grid that wraps them both.

A monk's cell frescoes, the edge of the David crowds, and the quietest piazza in central Florence.

A geometer's marble facade, the friars' eight-century pharmacy, and the streets down to the Arno.

The dome that taught the Renaissance how to build, the Baptistery doors, and the street down to Orsanmichele.
