Tourist and Historical Information Le Cure is one of Florence's most authentic residential districts, situated northeast of the historic core at the base of the Fiesole foothills. The neighborhood owes its name to the historic guild of the "curandai", textile artisans who since the 14th century used the waters of the Mugnone stream to wash, bleach, and treat ("curare") raw linen and wool fabrics for the Florentine wool guild. The center of daily life is Piazza delle Cure, home to an open-air morning market featuring local produce, artisan food stands, and traditional cafes. A short stroll away lies the romantic Park of Villa Il Ventaglio, an English-style landscape park designed by architect Giuseppe Poggi in the 19th century, with walking paths, a swan pond, and views across the historic skyline of Florence. The neighborhood provides direct access to the hilltop town of Fiesole and the Church of San Domenico. Crossing toward the historic center brings you to Piazza della Libertà, the historic Giardino dell'Orticoltura with its 19th-century iron-and-glass greenhouse, and the UNESCO World Heritage monuments of Florence, including the Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Basilica of San Marco, and the Accademia Gallery.
