The last church designed by Brunelleschi, the Augustinian church of Santo Spirito is also said to be the one that fits most closely with his well-proportioned plans. Constructed in the shape of a Latin cross with three spacious naves and arches supported by 35 pietra serena Corinthian columns, the interior houses some great 15th-century works, including Filippo Lippi’s Madonna and Child with Saints and Botticini’s St Monica and the Augustinian Nuns. On the left of the church, the Cenacolo di Santo Spirito (055-287043, Tues-Sun, 9 am-2 pm, i2.10) occupies two cloisters. The refectory is also here, with its display of 14th-century frescoes (including the remainder of a Last Supper by Andrea Orcagna) and Romanesque sculptures.
