Basilica di Santo Spirito
This Oltrarno basilica pairs a restrained Renaissance interior with the deeper history of an Augustinian complex that helped shape the surrounding quarter.
Why go
Santo Spirito is worth entering for the ordered space of its Renaissance church and for a less obvious intellectual history. The Augustinian convent became a center of study, while humanists linked to Boccaccio, Coluccio Salutati and Leonardo Bruni gathered here.
Useful to know
Step inside after seeing the plain exterior so the contrast with the ordered Renaissance space registers clearly.
Combine the basilica with time in Piazza Santo Spirito to understand the church’s place in the quarter.
