Located opposite the central train station, the structure sits inside the Piazza Santa Maria Novella, probably the greatest square in Florence. Known as one of the most significant and breathtaking Gothic houses of worship in the entirety of Tuscany, Santa Maria Novella highlights remarkable magnificence both on the all around, home to uncommon show-stoppers and memorable engineering. The striking green-and-white marble exterior of thirteenth to fifteenth century Basilica di Santa Maria Novella fronts a whole monastical complex, containing sentimental church houses and a frescoed sanctuary. The basilica itself is a money box of imaginative magnum opuses, peaking with frescoes by Domenico Ghirlandaio.
