Great for renting.Position Via Por Santa Maria is located in Florence between Via Calimala and Via Ponte Vecchio. The street is one of the oldest in the city, originating in Roman times as an extension of the cardo outside the first circle of walls. The ancient Porta di Santa Maria was located at the intersection with Via Vacchereccia and allowed entry and exit from the city through the bridge now replaced by the current Ponte Vecchio. The name of the street derives from the ancient gate that became part of the city when the first wall was replaced by a wider one at the time of Cacciaguida (about 1120). The road was very busy and therefore suitable for hosting commercial activities. All the main families of the time aimed to build houses and towers there. The art of silk had several workshops there and a door was included in their arms to be finally known as the Art of Por Santa Maria .
