The city’s primary Dominican church is also Florence’s first major basilica. While the building is beautiful in it self, it’s the artwork here that people really come to sea. Built on the site of a 9th century oratory of the same name, the church is Gothic-Renaissance in style and was completed in the 14th century. Highlights are:

  • 14th and 15th century stained-glass windows.
  • The pulpit by Filippo Brunelleschi, from which Galileo Galilei was first attacked for his ideas.
  • The Holy Trinity by Massachio.
  • Filippo Strozzi Chapel – covered with beautiful frescoes.
  • The Gondi Chapel and its famous wooden Crucifix by Brunelleschi.
  • Cappella Strozzi di Mantova with frescoes depicting the Divine Comedy.
  • The Sacristy with the Crucifix with the Madonna and John the Evangelist, by Giotto.
  • The Spanish Chapel with the Allegory of the Active and Triumphant Church and of the Dominican order.

There are many other precious artworks in the various chapels. In the square outside are a number of hotels and restaurants, and some interesting looking benches of glass and metal.
