Florentine Churches


Florence features some of the most beautiful churches in the world. Just looking at the faηade you will recognise the hand of the great artists of the past, but, if you have time, you should enter and admire the interiors as well, which are often decorated with invaluable masterpieces.


Renting an apartment in Florence city centre you will be just a few steps from the fifth largest church in Europe: the Church of Santa Maria del Fiore. No doubt that Florence Duomo is a real must see. And if you have enough stamina, climb up Brunelleschi`s dome or Giotto`s bell tower: the magnificent vista is well worth the effort of climbing over 400 steps and will make your holidays in Florence unforgettable.

The centre of Florence is dotted with many other churches, all standing just 5/10 minutes from the Duomo: the Church of San Lorenzo, the Church of San Marco, the Church of Santissima Annunziata, the Church of Santa Maria Novella...

You cannot certainly stand unimpressed in front of the Church of Santa Croce. The basilica, one of the most important gothic buildings in Italy, houses not only marvellous artistic treasures, but also the mortal remains of numerous celebrities, from Michelangelo Buonarroti to Ugo Foscolo.

From your holiday house in Florence in the Oltrarno district, you will easily reach even on foot some of the most beautiful Florentine religious buildings: the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine with the well renowned Brancacci Chapel; the Church of Santo Spirito, an absolute masterpiece of the Renaissance; and the suggestive Church of Santa Maria in Cestello.

From Piazzale Michelangelo, you can walk to the wonderful Church of San Miniato a Monte. At the top of a steep slope you will see one of the most important examples of Romanesque style. The magnificent vista over Florence adds charm to the place.
