About This Location
Saint Mark’s English Church is an Anglican church on Via Maggio, created for Florence’s English-speaking community in the late 1800s and linked to Reverend Charles Tooth. Standing here, the setting is very Oltrarno. Via Maggio is a long street of shops and galleries, with antique dealers, design stores, and small storefronts set into old palazzi. Palazzo Pitti is only a short walk away, so this spot often feels like a quiet pause between shopping streets and the palace area. Look above the entrance for the niche with Saint Mark, a small detail that helps identify the church from the street.
