The Torre di San Niccolo is the last...

Situada a orillas del río Arno.

Excellent
La Torre di San Niccolo es el último vestigio de las murallas originales de Florencia, y la única de sus torres defensivas que permanece en su estado original. Situada a orillas del río Arno, la torre ha estado vigilando las guerras, el comercio y la vida cotidiana de Florencia desde 1324, cuando se construyó para actuar como puerta de la ciudad a medida que la próspera ciudad se expandía hacia el lado sur del río. En los meses de verano, se abre al público como un mirador y ofrece vistas únicas del horizonte florentino. Un aviso, como pasa con muchas cosas en Florencia, la Torre di San Niccolo tiene un horario, abriendo y cerrando según los caprichos de quien esté trabajando ese día. Está ubicado justo debajo de Piazzale Michelangelo así que seguro que lo pasarás cuando bajas caminando de la colina hacía el río (una caminata que, por cierto, te recomiendo encarecidamente).
The Torre di San Niccolo is the last vestige of the original walls of Florence, and the only one of its defensive towers that remains in its original state. Located on the banks of the Arno River, the tower has been monitoring the wars, commerce and daily life of Florence since 1324, when it was built to act as a gateway to the city as the prosperous city expanded to the south side of the river. . In the summer months, it opens to the public as a viewpoint and offers unique views of the Florentine skyline. A warning ... as happens with many things in Florence, the Torre di San Niccolo has a schedule, opening and closing according to the whims of whoever is working that day. It is located just below Piazzale Michelangelo so you will surely pass it when you walk down the hill to the river (a hike which, by the way, I highly recommend).

Porta San Niccolo is a large stone...

La Porta San Niccolo est une grande...

La Porta San Niccolo est une grande tour de pierre située sur la place Giuseppe Poggi, près de l'Arno. Elle fut construite au 14ème siècle et fut une des rares à ne pas avoir besoin d'être rénovée comme elle était déjà protégée de par son environnement avec la colline de San Miniato juste à côté. Si vous prenez les escaliers près de la Tour vous arriverez tout en haut à la Piazzale Michelangelo. C'est un très bel édifice bien conservé.
Porta San Niccolo is a large stone tower located on the Giuseppe Poggi square near the Arno. It was built in the 14th century and was one of the few that does not need to be restored as it was already protected by its environment with the hill of San Miniato next door. If you take the stairs near the Tower you will come all the way up to the Piazzale Michelangelo. This is a beautiful well maintained building.
