Built in the 13th century by monks of the Dominican Order, this basilica surprises with its architectural solutions and artistic masterpieces. Inside you can see the works of such great masters as Masaccio and Ghirlandaio. The facade of the church, made in the Gothic style, is decorated with green and white marble, and its interior impresses with grandeur and harmony. Santa Maria Novella is not only an important historical landmark, but also a cultural center that tells about the Renaissance and the religious life of Florence.
