One of my favorite churches in florence and trust me ive seen them all. This, in my opinion, is one of the most unassuming and naturally religious places in florence.

You can still see the pure, elegant essence of his design, even though the people who did the work were obviously influenced by deterioration of taste in the later 15th and 16th centuries. The harmonious proportions, the perspectives along the colonnades, and the solemn colors are true to Brunelleschi's... More

The real masterpiece of Filippo Brunelleschi, the greatest architect of all times, although he could not complete it, it is still the most revolutionary Renaissance church, with completely new interior design, so much surprising that nobody dared to copy it entirely. the level of the work of art exibited inside is not up to standard of the architecture (but how...
