    Hiking

    The Basilica of Santa Croce is the largest Franciscan church in the world. It houses the tombs and cenotaphs of many great Italians, from Michelangelo to Ugo Foscolo, Gioacchino Rossini, Galileo Galilei.
    Among the many works of art, the frescoes and the Crucifix by Giotto, the Annunciation by Donatello

    Hiking

    A very beautiful church – definitely one of Florence's top 5 highlights. You have to buy tickets – and then plan on spending 2-4 hours to see everything in peace.
    The church is enormous inside, with many important tombs. There are also various annexes, an entire monastery, and some impressive cellars.
    The interior is much more beautiful and elaborate than the large cathedral!!!, in my opinion 👍
