Church of Santa Trinita (Holy Trinity)
Piazza Santa Trinita
Florence, October 2013
“This basilica, founded by the Vallombrosan Order, was built during the 11th century. It was enlarged in the Gothic style during the first thirty years of the 14th century and later on from the end of that century till about 1405. The outside facing in hard sandstone, designed at the end of the 16th century (1593-1594) by Bernardo Buontalenti, displays a double order of composite pilasters, and at its upper central point there is a round window.” (Church of Santa Trinita, Scientific Itineraries in Tuscany)
It's done well to have survived this long.
ReplyDeleteI like that open space in front of the church.
