The SS. Annunziata di Firenze

"A basilica founded in 1250 that blends Renaissance and Baroque styles. As you step inside, you’ll find: The Cappella dei Pucci, adorned with vibrant frescoes by Pontormo. One legend surrounds the Annunciation fresco by Pietro Cavallini, believed to have been completed by an angel while the artist slept. Also, explore the intricate stucco work by Giovan Battista Foggini and the cloister frescoes by Andrea del Sarto, depicting the life of Saint Filippo Benizi, are must-sees for art enthusiasts. Don't miss the Piazza della Santissima Annunziata just outside, home to Brunelleschi's Ospedale degli Innocenti, a historic orphanage (now a museum) and one of the first examples of Renaissance architecture. The piazza's also provides a perfect backdrop for a quick photo."

"The next stop on our list is Basilica della Santissima Annunziata. This Renaissance Basilica with rich Baroque interior is one of the most beautiful churches in Florence in my opinion. This basilica leaves you stunned by the magnificent frescoes, vaults, motifs, and all of the other details. The exterior may look simple, but the interior is a true marvel. This basilica is free of entry, but donations are welcome and appreciated."
