Florence - Piazza di Santa Maria Novella
This bustling five-cornered square before the church of Santa Maria Novella is closed to traffic, and looks most attractive, with its grass and flowers. The two marble obelisks surmounted by bronze lilies and supported by four tortoises are by Giambologna (1608), and mark the turning point for the annual horse race, the "Palio dei Cocchi".
The south side of the square borders the Loggio di San Paolo.
