Santa Croce---A vast, complex red, white, and green marble cathedral with many chapels and cloisters. Connected, is a small perfect chapel, Pazzi Chapel designed by Brunelleschi, and in the cloisters are ceramic medallions by Della Robbia, inside the main cathedral are frescos by Giotto and Maso di Banco, there is a chapel with a crucifix by Cimabue. Exquisite decoration, trompe l'oeil marble and ornamentation, stained glass, it's a stunning, densely filled environment. A must-see in Florence.

San Marco features--Fresco detail from the upper floor, and several images from the lower floor-- many panels, altarpieces, and predellas by the Renaissance painter Fra Angelico, who lived and worked in the monastery of San Marco, now a museum. Such exquisite color! A must see. Many other artists' works there, as well . Also the home and workplace of Savonarola, famed fanatical monk who was burned at the stake in Florence. Very interesting and engrossing place. The artworks are incomparable.
