Florence - Subdivisions

Subdivisions

The traditional subdivision of Florence into four quarters dates from the 14th century (that today compose the old town):

  • Santa Maria Novella
  • San Giovanni
  • Santa Croce
  • Santo Spirito
Administrative wards

The modern administrative subdivision into five wards follows the boundaries of the traditional quarters in the outer areas.

The five administrative divisions with their neighbourhoods are:
