The Piazza di Santa Croce
You can reach the Piazza di Santa Croce from the Duomo (cathedral) by taking Via del Proconsolo as far as the Piazza di San Firenze. At the far end of the piazza, turn left into Borgo de' Greci until you reach the Piazza di Santa Croce.
From the 14th century it served as a ground for jousts and tournaments, and now for matches of calcio storico (a kind of football). Opposite the church, the Palazzo Cocchi – Serristori retains the massive rusticated blocks of the 14th century. On the right, the Palazzo dell'Antella is painted with frescoes dating from 1619.
