What people are saying:
After attending the mass, we went down the abbey basement and prayed Vespers with the chanting monks. It was a very unique experience that added a dimension to my universal church experience.

Additional Information
Introduction
San Miniato is one of the most striking examples of Florentine Romanesque architecture, characterized by its bicoloured white and green marble façade. The altar, pulpit and transept recess feature fine marble decor, while the floor, in keeping with the Romanesque style, is decorated with symbolic ornamental motifs. Halfway along the nave on the left is another chapel; the Cappella del Cardinale Portogallo, which was designed by one of Brunelleschi's pupils. The architectural and decorative style resembles one of Brunelleschi's first creations; the Sagrestia Vecchia (Old Sacristy), which can be seen in San Lorenzo church.

After attending the mass, we went down the abbey basement and prayed Vespers with the chanting monks. It was a very unique experience that added a dimension to my universal church experience.
San Miniato al Monte is a beautiful treasure on the hill. The climb up the steps is worth it to hear Gregorian chants, and soak in the serenity of your surroundings. It is rarely crowded, even at the height of tourist season.
Spectacular Romanesque church on a hill overlooking Florence. It may be one of the best examples of Romanesque architecture in Italy. The view of Florence from in front of the church is also very nice
This Florentine Church was constructed between the eleventh and thirteenth century. It is well worth a visit not only for it's inner and exterior beauty, but if you have your back to the front of the Church and look out, you can get a great panoramic view of all of Florence.
One of the best undiscovered gems in Florence. Go here for the gregorian chants - called Vespers - in the late afternoon. Then go for spectacular sunset views just below it from Piazzale Michelangelo.
