Orto de’ Pecci
A cultivated valley below Piazza del Mercato offers a sharp change from the stone streets above. The descent is part of the experience, with an uphill return.
The descent from Piazza del Mercato into a cultivated valley is a strong contrast with the stone civic centre above. Orto de’ Pecci shows green land still held within the walled city. Give the slope time in both directions and look back toward the buildings on the ridge.
