Santa Maria Maggiore

Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore, Florence, Italy
Tel: +39 055215914
 

Founded before 1000AD, this church was reconstructed in the thirteenth century in gothic style for the Vallombrosiani family. On entering there is a sober atmosphere which comes from the internal structure with its three naves, broken up into arcades with pointed arches on quadrangular pillars. It was based on the cistercene model from the time of Buontalenti. In the large Chapel, the frescoes contain scenes from "Herototus ordering the massacre" and "The massacre of the Innocents" from the end of the fourteenth century. Services: 7:30a 9a 10:30a 12p 7p 9p Sunday.
