Florence Santa Maria Novella Self-Guided Audio Walk: Alberti's Church Front, Palazzo Strozzi and Santa Trinita Bridge
from$5per person
Overview
1 h
Your Experience
In Florence's Santa Maria Novella quarter, rich families put their names on what they built. A merchant wrote his across a church front; an exiled family came back and raised a palace of rough stone.
Start at the station of 1935, kept low out of respect for the church across the road. See Alberti's marble front with its sundials, the friars' pharmacy, and Ognissanti, where Botticelli is buried.
Walk to the Arno and the cart bridge of the wool friars, then the Rucellai and Strozzi palaces, a Roman column in Piazza Santa Trinita, and the Ponte Santa Trinita, blown up in 1944 and rebuilt as it was, where it was, facing the Ponte Vecchio.
Ten stops, about 1.9 km and an hour, flat with no steps, at your own pace, in English. Entry to Santa Maria Novella and Palazzo Strozzi exhibitions is not included.
Highlights
- Walk from Florence's railway station to the Arno through the merchant quarter of Santa Maria Novella.
- See Santa Maria Novella's marble front, Botticelli's church, the Rucellai and Strozzi palaces and a Roman column.
