The Piazza Santissima Annunziata
You can reach Piazza Santissima Annunziata from the Duomo (cathedral) by taking Via dei Servi until you come out onto the square at its end.
The square has a uniform appearance, faithful to the plan Brunelleschi designed for the Hospital of the Innocents.
The same style of arcades was used for the portico of the Confraternity of the Servites of Mary and for that of the facade of the church Santa Annunziata.
The equestrian statue of Ferdinando I is by Giambologna, but was finished by his pupil Pietro Tacca, who also made the two baroque fountains that adorn the square.
