An 11th-century church with a 16th-century pietra forte façade (the work of Buontalenti) and a 14th-century Gothic interior of cross-vaulting and pointed arches, this church has a little bit of everything. Inside, you’ll find some noteworthy frescoes by Simone Martini and Ghirlandaio, whose Scenes of the Life of St Francis on the right in the Sassetti Chapel offer a fascinating insight into the hectic everyday life found then on both Piazza di Trinità and Piazza della Signoria. The adjoining chapel also displays the miraculous crucifix taken from San Miniato al Monte.
