About San Marco / SS Annunziata

Centred on Piazza San Marco, this district holds the Galleria dell'Accademia (Michelangelo's David), Fra Angelico's frescoed monastery, and the elegant Renaissance loggias of Santissima Annunziata and the Spedale degli Innocenti. The University of Florence and art academies give it a year-round intellectual hum. It is central Florence at its most genteel, refined, less crowded than the Duomo, and now anchored by the T2 tram terminus connecting straight to the airport. Steady academic rental demand makes it a dependable, lower-drama central investment.
