Le Murate: the prison turned piazza
A former prison now full of café tables, a library roof terrace, and the lanes nobody photographs.
The Arno east: Lungarno della Zecca to San Niccolò
The quiet downstream embankment — the weir, the towers, and the riverbank nobody walks.
Santa Croce: the basilica and the leather quarter
Michelangelo and Galileo under one roof, a working leather school, and the artisan lanes around them.
Piazzale Michelangelo and San Miniato al Monte
The climb to the great terrace, then the quietest Romanesque church in Florence above it.
