Hotels near Liberty Square

(Italiano: Piazza della Libertà)

General Info

Liberty Square, or Piazza della Liberta, is a spacious public square located in northern Florence. It is dominated by a large three porticoed arch, known as the “Arco Trionfale de Francesco Stefano de Lorena”, and was built by Jean Necolas Jadot to commemorate the arrival in Florence of the Grand Duke of Tuscany in 1739. This square is surrounded by many beautiful buildings constructed in both the neo-Classical and Renaissance style. In spite of this square’s central location, due in part to the fact that it surrounded by a busy roundabout style thoroughfare, this square is usually sparsely populated. The Arco Lorena is spectacular and often photographed, but there are no cafes or shops directly adjacent to this square. This makes it more like an urban park; with greenery screening it from the traffic which circles is night and day. Of course, once you cross the roundabout in nearly any direction, the sounds of Florence find you again, and you’re within yards of some place to have a meal or a cup of coffee. There is parking on the southeastern side of the Piazza, and of course it is a public place and is therefore open all the time, year round.
