Church and Museum of Orsanmichele in Florence: photos, reviews

About

Nestled in the heart of Florence, Chiesa e Museo di Orsanmichele showcases the splendor of Italian Gothic architecture crafted by Simone Talenti, Neri di Fioravante, and Benci di Cione Dami. This historic gem, which opened its doors in 1337, functions both as a church and a museum, captivating visitors with its intricate gothic walls, marble floors, and an array of stunning sculptures of saints. One of its highlights is the exquisite tabernacle with a Madonna painting and beautifully preserved frescoes.

Inside, the museum houses original statues from the church's exterior niches, offering a tactile glimpse into its storied past. From the upper floors, visitors are rewarded with panoramic views of Florence's iconic landmarks, including the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and Palazzo Pitti. Rated highly on Google with an average score of 4.6, it's a must-visit for those interested in art, history, and architecture.

Accessible to children and with staff assistance available to reach upper floors via an opposite building, the venue operates from 8.30 am to 6.30 pm on weekdays and Saturdays, and until 1.50 pm on Sundays. Entry costs €8 per person, a small price for an enriching journey through time and art.

Dette er en liten, men vakker kirke. Man må kjøpe billett for å komme inn her.
