Basilica of Santa Maria Novella
The Basilica of Santa Maria Novella is one of Florence’s most significant Gothic and early Renaissance landmarks, renowned for its harmonious façade designed by Leon Battista Alberti. Founded by Dominican friars in the late 13th century, the church grew over nearly two centuries into a masterpiece of Romano‑Gothic architecture. Its striking green‑and‑white marble front opens into an interior rich with artistic treasures, including Masaccio’s pioneering Holy Trinity fresco and Ghirlandaio’s celebrated cycle in the Tornabuoni ChapelVisit Florence. The basilica’s vast nave, stained glass and sculptural works create an atmosphere where medieval devotion meets the dawn of Renaissance innovation. Standing in Santa Maria Novella is to witness Florence shaping the future of European art.
