San Miniato al Monte
Just above the Piazzale Michelangelo, one finds the church of San Miniato al Monte, whose facade of white and green marble is one of the most interesting examples of Florentine Romanesque.
Built between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries, the church contains works of great value, including the chapel of the Crucifix by Michelozzo and the Chapel of the Cardinal of Portugal, surrounded by decorations by Luca della Robbia.
The frescoes of Spinello Aretino showing the stories of Saint Benedict are splendid. |
