San Miniato al Monte

Via Monte alle Croci, 34, Florence, Italy
Tel: +39 0552342768
 

San Miniato is one of the city's most striking examples of Florentine Romanesque architecture, characterized by its bicoloured (white and green) marble facade. The altar, pulpit and transept recess feature fine marble decor, while the floor, in keeping with the Romanesque style, is decorated with symbolic ornamental motifs. Halfway along the nave on the left is another chapel, the `Cappella del cardinale Portogallo', which was designed by one of Brunelleschi's pupils, its architectural and decorative style resembles one of Brunelleschi's first creations, the `Sagrestia Vecchia' (Old Sacristy), which can be seen in San Lorenzo church.
