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
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:
