Santa Maria Novella
Edit This
Begun in 1246 for Dominican friars, the church was completed in 1360. Leon Battista Alberti who designed the upper part completed the white and green marble Gothic-Romanesque façade.
Inside the church there are splendid masterpieces including "The Trinity" by Masaccio, frescoes by Filippino Lippi and Ghirlandaio in the Tornabuoni chapel, a Crucifix by Giotto and a wooden Crucifix by Brunelleschi.
