Basilica di Santa Maria dei Servi

Why go

The arcaded forecourt is the first reason to stop: its portico continues across the façade and along the side, making an enclosed space unlike a simple church frontage. Inside, the Gothic nave offers a spare architectural contrast and the Madonna attributed to Cimabue gives the visit an artistic focus.

What to look for

• A four-sided portico frames the church's small forecourt.
• The portico forms a broad arcade across the façade.
• A Madonna attributed to Cimabue is a key interior work.

Useful to know

• Walk around the forecourt before entering to see how the arcade encloses it.
• Check church visiting conditions if you want to see the interior artwork; services can affect access.
• Combine it with the Davia Bargellini museum across Strada Maggiore.
