Church Santissima Annunziata
The Church Santissima Annunziata was built in 1235 on an old oratory created by seven nobles who decided to live there because they were tired of the society of their time. In the XV century, Michelozzo built the first cloister. The Church Santissima Annunziata was started in 1444 by Michelozzo and it was modified by Alberti.
In the Church there is a painting of the Virgin Mary that seems to be miraculous. According to legends, the painting was finished by an angel. Now this picture can`t be seen by public.
There are also beautiful frescos by Andrea del Castagno and by Jacopo Pontormo like the "Nascita della Vergine" and the "Visitazione".
