Basilica of Santa Croce: Where Legends Rest in Florence

Highlights

Reiseverlauf

1. 1

   Step into the Piazza di Santa Croce, where the legendary Calcio Storico explodes every June! Our journey begins at the Basilica, a treasure trove of Renaissance art. Inside, marvel at frescoes by Gaddi in the Cappella Maggiore, depicting the story of Santa Croce itself. Admire Giotto's masterful scenes from the lives of St. Francis and St. John in the Bardi and Peruzzi Chapels.

   Look left of the entrance for the inspiring memorial to playwright Niccolini, a forerunner of the Statue of Liberty. As we walk, learn about Donatello's jewel-like crucifix, a Renaissance masterpiece. Brunelleschi's harmonious Cappella de' Pazzi will leave you awestruck by its architectural perfection. We'll see the monumental cemetery, where restoration has brought flood-damaged paintings back to life. Stepping outside, admire the polychrome marble façade. Our tour concludes with the Bell Tower, Crypt, and all 16 chapels, taking about an hour. Feel free to revisit any highlights at your leisure!
