This gothic church contains some of the most important works
of art in Florence. It was built by the Dominicans starting in 1246 and
finished in the mid 14th century. The beautiful facade was completed in two
phases, a century apart from one to another but I believe it comes together
just fine. Inside you can see Masaccio's Trinity one of the first works of art
to employ perspective, announcing the arrival of the Renaissance. Look also
for the wooden crucifix by Filippo Brunelleschi and for the beautiful chapels
that line the walls, frescoed by famous Florentine artists.
