Map

The name of Piazza Poggi, overlooking the Arno River, dates back to 1911 when it was named after the architect who completely redesigned Florence at the end of the 19th century. Previously, the area was called Piazza delle Molina, testifying to the presence of the ancient San Niccolò mills active in the area until 1870. The complete redesign of the square means that the gate or Tower San Niccolò, aligned with the walls as long as they existed, is now in the centre of the square. The tower is a monument that can be visited during the summer, from which there is an unusual view of the city.
