It is referred to as the largest Franciscan church in the world that began to be built in the century. XIII and was consecrated in 1442. In addition to being a beautiful church with relevant elements, namely on the main altar topped with a Cimabue crucifix and on its walls a fresco with the history of Vera Croce, it is particularly distinguished for having the tombs of notable Fiorentines, such as Galileo, Michelangelo, Dante, Machiavelli among others.
