Basilica di Santa Croce

Love is the seed of virtue. If you love, please love cleanly. The money under the moon has never made toiling humans have a moment of silence. Go your own way and let others go. Tribute to Dante🌹 This Dante statue stands majestically in front of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence.

The Basilica of Santa Croce is another important church, where great men such as Dante, Michelangelo, Galileo and others have slept.

The Basilica of Santa Croce is a Franciscan Church, and some say that St. Francis, himself, was involved in the construction process. Construction of this Church began in the late 13th century and the Church was finally consecrated by the Pope in the early 15th century. I was overwhelmed by the splendor and beauty of this Church. How many Churches have you visited that had the frescoes of the great Giotto, or the reliefs of Donatello?! While in Firenze, this Church should be on everyone's bucket list to visit.

One of many impressive churches in the city of Florence. This one is a little less massive and ornate than some of the others but beautiful non the less.

One of the churches in Florence, with a square out in front with plenty of things to buy. Plenty of places to explore near here as well.

Pretty little church that is a little more off the beaten path than others in Florence.
