Why go
The piazza works as a quick lesson in Florentine urban history. Santa Trinita faces Palazzo Spini Feroni, while Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni and Palazzo Minerbetti show later residential styles. The ancient granite Column of Justice anchors the center and connects the square to Medici rule.
What to look for
- The Column of Justice rises near the center with a statue of Justice at its summit.
- Fortress-like Palazzo Spini Feroni contrasts with the classical Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni.
- Santa Trinita church gives the triangular square its name and western edge.
Useful to know
- Pause here between Ponte Santa Trinita and Via de' Tornabuoni rather than rushing through.
- Stand near the column to compare the surrounding medieval and Renaissance facades.
- Treat each church, palace and museum as a separate visit with its own access.
