Florence - Santa Felicità
The church of Santa Felicità was built over an early Christian graveyard, rebuilt in the 11th and 14th centuries and completely remodeled in the 18th century. However, the porch and Vasari's "corridor", connecting the Palazzo degli Uffizi and the Palazzo Pitti, were retained.
Inside the church, above the entrance, is the gallery for the Grand Dukes who attended services here.

To the right of the entrance in the Cappella Capponi can be found the church's most important works of art, two masterpieces by Pontormo (1526-1528), "Entombment of Christ" and "Annunciation". The chapel was built by Brunelleschi for the Barbadori family.
The chapterhouse in the church cloister is also a fine work of architecture.
