What travelers say:
The Holy Cross is also a typical Florence church, with white as the background color and green facade as a color pattern. The square should be the largest in the city church, so it is very correct.

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Church of the Holy Cross is located in the Holy Cross Square. It is the largest St. Francis Church in the world. Its exquisite architectural structure provides the architectural blueprint for the later European Catholic churches. The Basilica of Santa Croce is also known as "the Pantheon of Italy", where 276 great Italians such as Galileo, Michelangelo, Machievilla and Marconi are buried. The church is also decorated with exquisite masterpieces by many art masters, which can be called the condensed essence of Renaissance architecture and art. The French writer Stendhal once wrote: "Slowly, the Church of the Holy Cross gradually appeared in front of me. My My heart began to feel uneasy... My whole body seemed to lose strength, and every step I took seemed to be about to fall." This is where "Stendhal Syndrome" comes from. Santa Croce was built in 1924 and designed by Florentine architect Arnolfo DiCambio. The Gothic facade seen now was built on the occasion of the centenary of Dante's birth in the 19th century. On the side stands a statue of Dante. Colorful marbles of different shapes adorn the grand façade, and the top of the main entrance has a large satellite pattern designed by Jewish architect Matas.

Love is the seed of virtue. If love, please love cleanly. Money under the moon never makes a moment of silence for the laboring human. Take your own path and let others say. Tribute to Dante, this statue of Dante stands in front of the Holy Cross Cathedral in Florence.

Shuttle in the Holy Cross Square to feel the different humanities of Florence. I enjoy the leisure of the Holy Cross Square. Sitting on the stone steps next to the square, drinking 2 euros of local beer, one or two pigeons stop by you and swing his little head to look at you. Several local children scattered the laughing pictures of pigeons. In this city, I felt leisurely and soothing, as if I had a slight feeling after drinking red wine, enjoy here
The cathedral is very beautiful, but after going through more than N churches in Europe, it is absolutely not particularly excellent in terms of luxury. But the appearance of the cathedral is mainly light-colored. It is pure and peaceful. It is not as luxurious and magnificent as other churches. It is more simple and quiet. The square is being renovated, there are many enclosures, many roads are being renovated, and traffic conditions are not good. Convenient, along the alley is not far from the river, along the street there are a variety of boutiques and hotels, it is worth visiting, the last is the issue of public security, we pay attention to personal goods.
If you want to buy some handmade leather goods in Florence, Holy Cross Square is the best choice. The price is fair, the leather is good, and there are large and small leather shops in the surrounding commercial streets. A long wallet is around 40 euros.
St. Cross Church is an important church in Florence. First, it is the largest church of St. Franciscans. Second, it is a fairly standard secondary cathedral. Most of the internal structure of the European Catholic Church is based on the form of this church. The Church of the Holy Cross was designed and constructed by Amorford & Di Cambio in 1294, and was not initially completed until 1443. However, the whole facade of the Church was built in 1863 and the Gothic Bell Tower behind the Church was built in 1842. There are some monuments and mausoleums of Florence's heavyweight celebrities, such as Dante, Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, Rossini and so on.
In a small square in front of the St. Tenth Church, there are many pigeons swimming in the square, locals are basking in the sun and walking dogs, the square is surrounded by restaurants, shops and cafes, and the graffiti opposite the square is very artistic.
