Opera di Santa Croce Review

The beautiful square suffocated by the usual Christmas market stalls,
...... and Dante Alighieri seems to be disgusted.

The emblematic building of Florence, whose construction began in 1294 according to the plans of Arnolfo di Cambio. It is the largest Franciscan church in the world. It was built at the expense of the people and the More

It always surprises you ... It's always a discovery ...

No waiting to enter this large church, beautiful inside, lots of frescoes, history and tombs, well worth a visit.

Santa Croce is the burial place of the great and powerful of Florence: Michelangelo, Rossini, Macchiavelli and the Pisan Galileo Galilei. There is also a commemorative monument to Dante, but his sarcophagus is empty (he was buried in Ravenna, after his exile from Florence).

Beautiful square and church. It is where Calcio Florentino is played.

There are no comments to make! Simply splendid on the outside and rich on the inside

Magnificent to be observed after lunch, the light is reflected on the golden decorations and the magnificence is divine.

You can find a mix of art pieces from different centuries. Some recognized history characters has been buried there.

The best Italian artists are buried here. Wonderful. Michelangelo, Dante, Bruno, Maquiavelo, Galileo.

one of the most beautiful squares in florence with the beautiful church surrounded by medieval and renaissance buildings on 24 June welcomes the final of football in costume

Unique experience. Sensation as if communicating with Geniuses. Come to Florence and not visit Santa Croce, sacrilege.

Must visit The remains of great characters in history and art are there. The bad thing is that the entrance does not entitle the toilet and you also have to pay it, in case after marveling all your art you feel like going to the bathroom

I could not visit the inside because the women were admitted only with the overcoat and there was not a service of renting palandrane ...

Popular colorful magic .... magnificent with winter light ....

What can be said about this masterpiece of art? For a description as usual refer to the guides. I use those of the Touring Club. A little tip for the visit: before appreciating the wonders that are inside, let yourself go and enjoy the atmosphere that you breathe, the atmosphere created by the "... Urns of the strong, or Pindemonte "....

Please Remember this is a place that been for centuries a place of worship God, Italian are a very respectful about their churches, they have dress code, and is in the entrance Buy a big pashminas or a kimono and keep it you will need it in the next church. The line in Sumer is all around about 2 hours, but is marvelous and you can feel it,

History.
Beautiful.

The Italian pantheon...a must ! The church is also very beautiful !

Beautiful! The frescoes by Giotto, the stained glass windows, the proportions, the tombs of famous people ... and then the cloisters, the sacristy with the famous Cimabue crucifix, the altarpieces and Vasari's last supper, all admirably restored after the terrible flood of 1966 ... and much more. A series of masterpieces that reconcile you with the human race. The entrance panel speaks 30-40 minutes of visit ... yes with the skates and the blinders! We entered at 10 and left at 12.30, without a moment of boredom.

Must have visited in Florence !! So much art and history ... Once standing at the tomb of Galileo and Michelangelo!

Superb Pantheon church of Italian talents ... beautiful visit and beautiful museum. To see during your visit to Florence

Bella, by the way and out more ... just a few steps from the great Duomo ... and three from Ponte Vecio ... Florence is an architectural marvel of an enormous magnitude ... you have to go ahead with time ... and arm yourself with patience , since it is a point where a number of people out of the ordinary are conferred .. it doesn't matter if it's sunny ... cool ... cold ... it is always crowded and the reason is very clear .. fascinates the first time the visits..and invites you to repeat the visit ...

Nice place worth visiting, of the few free entrance in the city with beautiful paintings.

One of the wonders of the most beautiful living room in the world

The Basilica di Santa Croce (Basilica of the Holy Cross) is the principal Franciscan church in Florence, Italy, and a minor basilica of the Roman Catholic Church. It is situated on the Piazza di Santa Croce, about 800 meters south-east of More

Absolutely not to be missed for those visiting Florence, but also for those who live there permanently. Wonderful the Basilica, wonderful the square.

Great cathedral Wide front area Full of people and lively birds, most interesting if coming to Milan

Beautiful place, and just as beautiful to sit outside in the sun to soak the culture of Florence. A man plays violin outside the basilica everyday, support him if you see him :)

Scaffolding and stadium seating everywhere so they can have a concert or something. Total disappointment.

It is a beautiful place, which is in Florence, Italy, if you ever have the opportunity to visit it you should not miss it

If you want to experience history up close, you must visit Santa Croce. Here are many famous names and here is the original Statue of Liberty.

One of the places you cannot miss in Florence ...
The truth is that it is what I liked the most on my trip. In the first place because it is in a very large square, which gives you some respite ..., (Florence is full of people! ).
Secondly, the facade and the statue of Dante are masterful ... you can stay absorbed for a while looking at it.
And thirdly, very illustrious and important characters in our history are buried there, such as Dante, Miguel Angel, Galileo and Machiavelli among others ... When you are there you feel it ...

example of Florentine art, in the historic center, monument of historical importance, seat of the prison of the inquisition and of numerous sepulchres of famous people including Niccolo Machiavelli
Michelangelo Buonarroti, Galileo Galilei, Ugo Foscolo.

I understand why in this place Giorgio de Chirico says that this is where Metaphysical painting is born. He is right: a place that every time turns out to be always new and different, capable of arousing thoughts and feelings that go beyond reality. To experience at various times of the day.

A historic and impressive place in this city, although there really isn't something special that sets it apart, it is well worth a walk around

Don't miss this one! The Duomo is where everyone goes but I enjoyed this more.

It is among the most known and historical squares in Florence.
The facade of Santa Croce is among the most suggestive and still manages to excite me despite the fact that he was born in Florence and can see it very often.
Today in particular it is home to the "Calcio Storico" event.

This place should be visited by everyone! Very beneficial atmosphere, I advise

Small but beautiful you have to visit it
The Doctor also says it

Not worth it for 8 euros and it is mucked at women for any visible skin to sell their cloths to cover

The square and the Basilica of Santa Croce are worth a visit, a walk in the cloister and between the aisles, upside down.

Incredible place. To go without excursion and contemplate

To see, too bad it's not possible to visit everything.

If you don t want to enter it s beautiful from outside just visit
