Discover the timeless beauty of Santa Maria Novella with a skip-the-line ticket and immersive audio guide, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Beneath its striking marble façade, admired even by Michelangelo, the basilica reveals a seamless blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance design. Inside, encounter Masaccio’s pioneering Trinità, Giotto’s emotive Crucifix, and Brunelleschi’s architectural brilliance. In the Tornabuoni Chapel, Ghirlandaio’s vibrant frescoes capture the elegance and spirit of Florence’s golden age. Wander through peaceful cloisters dappled with sunlight, pausing at chapels adorned with centuries-old frescoes. Learn how Dominican friars shaped the city’s spiritual and political life, and uncover stories of powerful families like the Strozzi and Medici.
