The church has a beautiful marble front. Inside you will find the tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo and Machiavelli amongst others. It was also interesting to see the predecessor to (or inspiration of) the Statue of Liberty.

This is not the busiest part of Florence which is nice but it is definitely a must see. There are a few very famous people buried here in the church including Galileo, Michaelangelo, and Machiavelli.

See the incredible tombs of Michealangelo, Dante, Galileo and more. The statue that was the inspiration for The Statue of Liberty is here in the same rooms as these tombs. It won't take you long to go through this Cathedral and will only cost you 3 Euros per person. Just blocks from The Uffizzi Gallery and the Piazza Della Signoria.

Amazing church - facade fantastic - interior full of interest; beautiful frescoes within the various chapels, Galileo's and Michelangelo's tombs, amongst others, fantastic marble tomb engravings on floor - skulls and cross bones etc. Many paintings by renowned artists of the various eras, just on the walls! Interesting chapel, and a peaceful garden to the rear to sit in peace... More

We visited on 8 May 2013 and found that for a small additional cost, we could be part of a 3pm tour of the restoration work currently undergoing in the church. Antonio was our guide and he was excellent, explaining the history of the church, the restoration and in particular Gaddi's fresco around the Altar that is currently being restored.... More

Wonderful treasure packed full of art and sculptures and history, recomend an audio guide for 3 euros- well worth it. It goes on forever and there is a museum and lovely garden too so allow at least 3 hours to appreciate it.

Not a fan of having to pay to visit a church, but this was well worth the 12EUR. Queue was quite long and slow moving but once we got in it was spectacular. Would return again, thoroughly enjoyed it.

This place is luckily not so crowed like the others in Florence. We could enjoy it and appreciate it as it deserved to be.

this is one of the eldest big buildings, and the church is very beautiful. It gives honour to Michelangelo, Dante, Gallileo Gallilei and others. some beautiful chapels are worth seeing, because of the 'fresco' ceilings and walls and other most beautiful ornaments. There is also the cloiture garden en a museum with beautiful things.
