About
The creation of Piazza Santa Maria Novella dates back to the end of the 13th century, the beginning of the 14th century, in parallel with the construction works of the grandiose Dominican complex of the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella. The Preaching friars had arrived in Florence in 1219 and the small original church (located outside the 12th century city walls) had soon proved insufficient for the needs of the Order, which had become very popular and powerful. The new construction site, started in 1278, was completed only in the mid-14th century.
