Santa Trinita Description
The fondness of the Florentines for the church of Santa Trínita - on the square of the same name near the Arno - is due mainly to its great age. There was a church here as early as the 11th century, and this was rebuilt in the 13th century (probably by Niccolò Pisano) as Florence's first Gothic church. It was rebuilt yet again in the late 14th century, this time by Neri di Fioravante. The facade, designed by Buontalenti, is from the late 16th century.
