Via degli Orafi

A historic street to explore slowly

Via degli Orafi is one of the small streets that help define the charm of Pistoia’s old centre. Its name recalls craft traditions and the historic commercial life that once animated the lanes around the main squares.

For visitors, it is not a single monument but a short urban experience: façades, shopfronts, narrow perspectives and the feeling of walking through a city that still preserves its medieval scale.

It is best enjoyed as part of a relaxed stroll between Piazza del Duomo, Piazza della Sala and the surrounding streets.
