Florence's Sacred Masterpieces

Florence’s ecclesiastical heritage is defined by landmarks like the Dominican Santa Maria Novella and the Franciscan Santa Croce, the burial site of Michelangelo, Machiavelli, and Galileo. This selection documents the city's architectural evolution, from the Romanesque mosaics of San Miniato al Monte to the Baroque interiors of Ognissanti. It features Brunelleschi’s Renaissance designs at San Lorenzo and Santo Spirito, the unique Gothic structure of Orsanmichele—a former granary—and the opulent marble-clad Medici Chapels. These sites house masterpieces by Giotto, Donatello, and Michelangelo, representing centuries of Florentine religious and artistic history.
