Guided tour of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence

Basilica di Santa Croce
1.5 hours

Get ready to admire some of the most beautiful and unique works of art and sculpture in the world. Enjoy a 1-hour experience inside one of Florence’s most unique and historically rich buildings.

During this experience, you will learn about the history of Florence’s main Franciscan church: stories of its founding in the 13th century, as well as stories of its masterpieces and burial places hidden within the church.

Inside the church, your tour guide will show you the magnificent Gothic architectural traits, and you will be able to admire Giotto’s frescoes, the Bardi Chapel, the Medici Chapel, the Pazzi Chapel, and all the other masterpieces created by Donatello, Brunelleschi, and many other important Renaissance painters and sculptors.

Don’t forget that Santa Croce church is the ‘hall of fame’ for Italian culture. Some of Italy’s greatest figures, such as Michelangelo, Galileo and Machiavelli, are resting here. You will be able to admire their tombs for the true masterpieces that they are.

Please note that helmets, glass objects and luggage are not permitted within the Basilica. Please wear appropriate clothing to enter religious places (knees and shoulders must be covered). Please do not wear sports shirts.
