Torre San Niccolò

Points of interest

Architectures and monuments

The tower of San Niccolò is in piazza Poggi. The gate, that has been isolated from the city walls, was erected in 1324 to defend the Oltarno quarter. It is the only tower in Florence that has not been “scapitozzata”, that is, lowered with respect to its original height.

It conserves a charming walkway that the Town Council has restored and made safe in order to open it to citizens and tourists. It was part of the fortification system of Florence.

A recommended guided tour for children and teenagers to enjoy a real journey into the past and unveil a new surprising perspective on Florence.
