Florence - Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi

 
Maria Maddalena, a member of the famous Florentine Pazzi family, was canonised in 1669. The 13th century complex of church and Benedictine convent, already remodeled two centuries earlier by Giuliano da Sangallo (1480-1492), was enlarged in her honor, which is why the forecourt of the church is in the harmonious style of the second half of the 15th century while other parts of the church and the convent have Baroque elements.

Must-see attractions nearby:
The chapels contain precious works by such 15th and 16th century Tuscan artists as Portelli and Giordano. The refectory is today part of a barracks for the Carabinieri, and Sangallo's cloisters belong to the Liceo Michelangelo.
