[Florence, Italy] The most recommended church in Florence

#FreeHotelStay When in Florence, many people want to climb the cupola of the Duomo and get a panoramic view of the city! However, considering the waiting time and crowds, the view from Piazzale Michelangelo is the best, it's free, and I definitely recommend it. And if you come to Piazzale Michelangelo, it's unthinkable not to go to San Miniato al Monte. The geometric pattern on the façade, which sets it apart from other churches, is charming, like a child's drawing. The church was built to house the relics of St. Miniato, who was martyred in Florence in 250, and the geometric patterns scattered throughout the church and the patterns woven by the white and green marble are impressive. The church is divided into two levels, with the relics of St. Miniato enshrined in the underground chapel, and the sanctuary decorated with beautiful mosaics on the upper level. ・ Even though it's so beautiful, there are surprisingly few tourists, making it the perfect place to experience the quiet of Florence. ・ Church of San Miniato al Monte Via delle Porte Sante, 34 Firenze +39-055-2342731 About a 10-minute walk from Piazzale Michelangelo
