Without doubt, this is a church to be visited. A remarkable example of a medieval church that was rebuilt in the early 17th century Baroque, one of the first of its kind in Florence.
Beautiful 15th century frescoes by Botticelli - St Augustine in his Study, midway along the northeast wall of the nave directly opposite to Ghirlandaio's - St Jerome in his Study.
Also a recent cleaning of the Crucifix in the left transept attributes the work to Giotto.
Botticelli is buried in this church. Many other fine pieces of art to be appreciated here. Sit in the nave and gaze at the Baroque ceiling with its diminishing perspectives. A moment for quiet reflection in this troubled life .....

Really liked it here and as a bonus the young guy on the organ practicing was playing Lord of the Rings theme tune which was an unexpected bonus! I went about 6pm-ish on a Wednesday can't say if it's a regular occurrence or I just got lucky
Beautiful and inviting. No charge. Look for Amerigo Vespucci’s family chapel—who gave his name to America, Botticelli’s tomb and one of Napoleon’s sisters.
Of particular interests to those from the Americas for obvious reasons. Large church with tons of artistic treasures.
Beautiful church not to be missed if in the area. The ceilings are stunning and there's no crowds so it was very nice to visit.
Beautiful church, one of the most beautiful ones in all Florence of you ask me. Don’t miss the masterpieces by Botticelli and Ghirlandaio. Worth a visit!
A Franciscan church in Florence. Dedicated to saints and martyrs known and unknown. Completed in 1250 and with several restaurations in the following centuries. Works like the madonna and child with angel by Giotto and Boticelli’s fresco of St Augustin are some of its treasures.
A Last Supper fresco by Ghirlandaio is a masterpiece to be admired in the refectory

So much history here. Highly recommended in comparison to the cathedral which is quite empty inside in comparison. Botticelli, the sister of Napoleon are buried here and some amazing treasures and artefacts on display.
