The Piazza Santo Spirito is a lively square with restaurants and cafes in Oltrarno in Florence. This place has a pleasant local vibe as many Florentines are relaxing on patios or enjoying a meal in a restaurant. It is a great place to visit and have some food and drinks in the evening. Inside a wooden crucifix carved by Michelangelo, you will also find the Basilica di Santo.
Two popular markets are held twice a month, including an artisan market every second Sunday and an organic food market every third Sunday. Taking centre place in the piazza is a pretty octagonal-shaped fountain and a statue of Cosimo Ridolfi, an Italian politician. You can also visit any of the various local artisanal shops. The Basilica di Santo Spirito was constructed in 1487and looks stunning, designed by Brunelleschi. Overall, it is a refreshing place free from tourist crowds.
