Piazza Santa Trinita
The Piazza Santa Trinita is a triangular square in Florence, Italy, named after the church of Santa Trinita on the west side of the square. The piazza is traversed by the Via de' Tornabuoni.[1] Near the middle of the square is an ancient Roman column known as the Column of Justice due to the sculpture of "Justice" on the top.[2] Several Gothic and Renaissance palaces surround the square, these include:
- Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni
- Palazzo Buondelmonti (15th century)
- Palazzo Minerbetti (14th century)
- Palazzo Spini Feroni (14th century), presently the home of the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum and headquarters of the fashion house of that name.
