I’ve always liked the Oltrarno, ever since staying in the Casa Browning a decade or so ago.   It’s slightly more down-at-heel than the other side of the river, full of old antique shops and people faking the antiques in the side streets, print shops and florists, small wine bars, run down palazzi and views across the river.

This is the carving on the baroque Fontanella Buontalentiana in the corner of the Piazza Frescobaldi:-

This is Brunelleschi’s great church of Santo Spirito:-

This is a column in the portico of S. Jacopo sopr’Arno (the portico itself is Romanesque):-

This is one of the antique shops in the Borgo S. Jacopo:-

And this is the view of the Ponte Vecchio from the terrace of the Hotel Lungarno:-
