Via di San Leonardo


Paved street between stone walls
Via di San Leonardo
Florence, January 2024

“Go back to Via del Forte di San Giorgio and turn right into Via di San Leonardo, probably the most beautiful street in Florence, defined by old stone walls and magnificent houses on either side. Perfect for pictures, Via di San Leonardo can be a bit scary when a car flies by, so be very careful when a vehicle comes around the corner. Continue straight on this lovely cobblestone road until you reach the tiny Church of San Leonardo in Arcetri, which has been serving the community since the 11th century. Keep walking and stuff your eyes with wonder: this street is a never-ending succession of Tuscan country houses, villas, cypresses and olive groves.” (The City's Southern Hillside, Ciao Florence)
