Opera di Santa Croce Review

I remain breathless in front of all this art! META consigliatissima

The basilica of Santa Croce in the homonymous square in Florence is one of the largest Franciscan churches and one of the greatest achievements of Gothic architecture in Italy, and has the rank of minor basilica.

Unique place in the world like all Florence live Fiorenza.

When you arrive in Florence you must visit this chapel.
In the chapel of Castellani, the Lithuanian nobleman Michael Kleop Oginski is buried.

This visit is the best of Florence, in every corner is to admire, the frescoes, the touch of each chapel. The color and representation of the phases of San Francisco. The galleries and exceptional explanations. The tomb of Galileo and more geniuses, philosophers Machiavello, and sadly the man whose talent for sculpture Micheangelo, with the poorest and saddest sculptures, that great artist did not deserve. Dante's beautiful. It takes you about 3 hours well traveled, to appreciate everything. The exterior of the church does not talk about how spectacular the interior is.

Beautiful, interesting, very interesting, rich in history and events .. Too bad that here in Florence every place to see is always paid !! Certain monuments and historic buildings should not charge .. You already pay with the endless queues to enter ..

Amazing place with so much of historical significance

Unique in its kind, it has made the history of Florence

Beautiful Basilica where you can see the tombs of Michelangelo or Galileo (among others)
A splendor !!!

A place not to be missed! A religious complex with a lot of history and art. Tombs of Michelangelo, Dante, Donatelo and Machiavelli.

Beautiful Basilica, we appreciate it for the Exterior we had no opportunity to enter.

One of the many places to see absolutely, even better if with a guide

Wonderful church! I loved the atmosphere. You can also buy some leather goods there.

Inside, it is more beautiful than Santa Maria del Fiere, so instead of standing in line for an hour, you better come here. Look at the stained glass windows and the graves of celebrities: Galileo Galilei, Michelaledo, Oguinsky and others.

Holy cross, the Basilica is worth visiting. There are the tombs of illustrious characters. Other incredible place, charming .... and the chapel of the Medici then ...! Obligatory stop.

Very beautiful basilica, better than others I have seen, such as that of the Florence Duomo. It has many graves.

A magical place where the most important fresco of the genesis of pictorial perspective is found, created by the most brilliant painter of the beginning of the Renaissance

One of the magical places in Florence.
Imposing and grandiose, beautiful inside and out! Not to be missed!

Haven't been inside but the church from the outside with the square is already a go to place

Fixed stage for those who go to Florence, truly a breathtaking place

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.

The most beautiful square is the church of Florence, a suggestive and romantic atmosphere

Beautiful the square I have the yellow school there on the corner of the Piazza Santa Croce

Very nice but I did not have time to visit it inside

If you got the chance to see every basilica.. well don't hesitate!!

Simply amazing, Amazing place. Symbolic tombs of Galileo, Michaelangelo and Others are made, the level of detail this church has is outstanding. Nominal Entrance Fees of 8 Euro is worth. Of course many things have been lost and deteriorated since a huge flood that supposedly happened on 1966. But the church has now a little museum which explains this and other stories Make sure you are not wearing short shorts or sleeveless shirts. It is definitely a must in anyone's list. If you come to Florence you cannot miss this place. Must visit !!

A lot of queue you have to go with time and patience

To see, important, beautiful and full of works of historical importance.

I discovered it coming from one side and I must say that the great square gives way to appreciate its beauty to the fullest.

Unfortunately we can not give more than five stars. How many words have been spent, what to say, wonderful.

To visit, without forgetting, the bell tower, the baptistery and the beautiful museum. I recommend buying the full ticket

Beautiful architecture. 8Euros entry for adults. Ladies : make sure you have your shoulders and knees covered or carry a cover-up or you'll have to buy one for a Euro

Gorgeous!
Both outside, where you can also find the statue of Dante, and inside where you can find the graves of some of the greatest Italian characters such as Michelangelo, Galileo, Ugo Foscolo and Vittorio Alfieri just to name a few, more there are numerous really fascinating chapels and a beautiful cloister.
In short, there are so many things to see and I think it's really worth it because surely you won't be disappointed by visiting it.

The basilica of Santa Croce is one of the largest Franciscan churches. Its imposing Gothic style makes it one of the most beautiful in Florence. Inside there are the tombs of some great figures of history and art such More

Nice basilica although, after the Duomo, they all detract a little. Interesting tombs inside.

Like the other reviews of the monuments of Florence ... without equal!

Beautiful, well worth it. There are a lot of beautiful things to see besides the church itself such as the leather museum, the cloister and the other external chapels.

Another beautiful church in the historic city of Florence.

ON MY VACATION TRIP 2 YEARS AGO - CRUISE FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN 2017

Gorgeous. The guide included in the price explained every corner of the church with competence and sympathy.

Piazza Santa Croce set up for the Giostra del Giglio, Cavalry of the Florentine Republic Part of Guelph!

Seen in the evening, only externally, it is striking for its beauty.

Very impressive basilica, with 280 tombstones and tombs in the naves.

Magnificent
A must see

Magnificent church, a jewel of architecture, less frequented than the famous Duomo but which has retained an incredible charm and which contains most of the tombs of geniuses of cultural, artistic and scientific heritage.

A mythical historical place and for me ..... also very romantic ...

The environment, especially at night and in summer, is magical. A place to visit if or yes

Bad education of the person in charge of the ponchos
