This is a large Augustinian church at the square by the same name in Oltrarno. The church history dates back nearly a thousand years but the present building that you see today was designed by early Renaissance master, Filippo Brunelleschi (1428-1446). The main body of the church is free to visit and open from 10am to 1pm (morning) and 3-6pm (afternoons) and no photography is allowed within. 2 Euro entry fee required to access the cloister and sacristy where the crucifix by Michelangelo is to be seen. You can take photos in the cloister area. The exterior of the basilica is fairly typical of early Renaissance with subtle and unassuming appearance. The interior nave is very large, nearly 97 metres in length. There are 38 side chapels and artworks on display including works by Botticini and F. Lippi. There is an impressive Baroque baldachin and aforementioned crucifix by a young Michelangelo in the sacristy. Easily 30 minutes worth of sightseeing within Basilica Santo Spirito. Just be aware of the separate morning and afternoon opening hours.

A pretty, lively square and a sober church! Take the plunge and discover a large building with some paintings. A remarkable altar in seemingly hard stones. Possibility to visit the cloister and see a cross made by Michelangelo, ticket 2€.
