Opera di Santa Croce Review

A great museum in a wonderful city. Needed all day to calmly view the collection. On-site cafeteria, you must not bring large bottles of water to the gallery - Max 500 ml

Talking about the Basilica, I think it is superfluous. Wonderful, exciting and I could go on and on. Sthendall suffered the consequences for this magnificence. And the Syndrome of Florence took its name. As for the square itself, the restaurants are of excellent quality and if we want, given the location, not expensive. It welcomes the Calcio Storico, giving the opportunity to carry on a tradition of Florence that we cannot give up. I am proud to be a Florentine.

Beautiful church where are the tombs of Machiavelli, Galileo, Miguel Angelo and other unavoidable figures of Florence, Italy and the world.

One of the most beautiful squares in Florence, beyond the basilica, the square teems with life, among cafes, restaurants and various markets.

An enchanting place surrounded by houses and dwellings in the typical Renaissance style. And then the statue of Dante, situated there and wanted as a recognition by the Florentine people. There is also a public fountain to cool off on hot and sultry days

One of the most beautiful and magical places of my SPLENDIDA FIRENZE

Beautiful large church (basilica) with special chapels in the front with frascos and tombs and monuments for the great artists and scientists of the Renaissance period. There are also paintings by great painters from that time.
The outside is less special.
The entrance fee of 8 euros (2020) and the short queue is well worth a visit.

Beautiful Gothic basilica of Florence.
The square it overlooks is very characteristic and in the Christmas period is characterized by typical markets.

One of the (many) squares of Florence must see. If you have time then enter (for a fee) the church.

Wonderful square where this beautiful Basilicata stands, heritage of our beautiful country

The Basilica is very beautiful, the staff that works there forget that it is a place of prayer and that therefore a person can also simply enter to pray and then go out. Also inside there are some areas intended only if you enter as a tourist, a disgrace if we think that it is a church and not a museum, but this is unfortunately the sad reality that is seen everywhere and hope that no one enters payment is pure utopia

From the outside the view is very beautiful.
I couldn't get in, it was already closed.

Beautiful place. We were able to visit everything cheap. Museums were also included in the ticket.

A must while in Firenze. Almost all famous locals are buried here (or at least their tombs and mausoleums erected) such as Galileo, Machiavelli ans Michelangelo. The altar is a piece of work itself. There are also many paintings belonging to the great fiorentine artist of those times in the building as well. It s well worth the 8 euros entry fee. The facade of the Basilica and the lively square in front of it are also highlights of this place.

The most peculiar square of Florence surrounded by historic leather goods

Magical place exudes spirituality and makes you proud when you see the graves of the greats of literature, science, sculpture, etc., and you realize the greatness of the Italian genius

What a beautiful piece of art. You will be amazed to visit that place, it is easy to find and it is located in the, center of Florence. You can go inside after buying your tickets online or at the ticket counter next to the Basilica.

Magnificent spectacle overlooking a beautiful square

beautiful church, no waiting and a lot to see. A must in Florence!

After visiting the work of Michelangelo at the Accademia and the crucifix in the Santo Spirito a great way to soak up the Renaissance city.

It is wonderful and then there is the tomb of the great Michelangelo, a great emotion to be found before the genius

It is a wonder. It costs 8 euros the entrance, but with the family ticket only the parents pay. I remove a star because the chapels next to the altar (with frescoes by Giotto) could not be seen because they were being restored and they did not warn him before entering.

A truly fantastic place to enter during the mass and discover at the end of the function that you cannot wander around to admire the infinite beauties but you have to go out and return at another time is priceless

One of the most beautiful churches in the world. Frescoes by Giotto, The tombs of lersonagginillustri such as Macchiavelli Galileo Michelangelo, Fermi and others. Wonderful apse with altarpiece of San Francesco from 1200

I couldn't get into it ....

Unfortunately I missed this incredible monument!

Only on the outside, you can already get a sense of how beautiful it is inside!

Not to mention Florence, it is a place where celebrities who sleep a lot can influence the art and culture of Europe.
The tombstone is full of artistry and you can experience as if you were seeing art.
There is an area where a small workshop of leather work which is one industry of Florence is opened in the site of the cathedral, and that is also interesting.
A Christmas market will be held in the square in front of you in the Christmas season. That is also recommended.

There are no words ...... stopped at the entrance of the square and dreams

Michaelangelo, Dante, Nicolo Machiavelli, Leonardo di Vinci Saint Francis of Assisi

Be sure to visit this place. There are not as many tourists as in other cathedrals and churches of the city, but there is something to see. It was surprising that before knights were buried directly under the church floor, and to be honest, walking on gravestones is now even uncomfortable. / Be sure to visit this place.

Beautiful to photograph, there is a museum, you can go up the stairs to see the city from above, there are many restaurants around.

A show ... always ...
Almost unimaginable masterpiece .... even for our years

Wonder .... wonder ... I'll be back in Florence soon

Santa Croce, rebuilt for the Franciscan order in 1294 by Arnolfo di Cambio, is the burial place of the great and powerful of Florence: Michelangelo, Rossini, Macchiavelli and the Pisan Galileo Galilei, who was condemned by the Inquisition and who, therefore, he could not have a Christian burial until 1737, or 95 years after his death. There is also a memorial monument to Dante, but his sarcophagus is empty (he was buried in Ravenna after his exile from Florence). Santa Croce literally houses an immense artistic heritage: Gaddi's frescoes (1380) in the Cappella Maggiore tell the story of the "holy cross", while Giotto's beautiful frescoes in the Bardi and Peruzzi chapels illustrate scenes from the life of San Francesco and San Giovanni the Evangelist. An unusual relief, the Annunciation, in golden sandstone by Donatello, enriches the right nave of the basilica.

The basilica is located in Florence center council to visit it
