Map

The settlement of the Augustinian Hermits in an area of the Oltrarno (the area beyond the river Arno) included within the city walls of 1173 dates back to 1250 and is of fundamental importance for the entire neighborhood. Starting from 1269 the Basilica of Santo Spirito was rebuilt and enlarged with the economic participation of the Municipality and at the end of the century the square took shape.
