Local Attractions near Domus Florentiæ Hotel
- Duomo - Cathedral of Florence (0.54 km) -
- Santa Maria Novella Station (0.36 km) - Santa Maria Novella is Florence's main train station. As a Eurostar hub, Milan, Venice and Rome are all easily accessible and it also serves other regional and national destinations. The bus for Florence airport also leaves from just outside the station.
- Medici Chapels (0.38 km) - The Medici Chapels are the jewel of San Lorenzo church in Florence. Michelangelo's New Sacristy (Nuova Sagrestia) is the highlight, containing the elaborately sculpted tombs of Lorenzo and Giuliano de' Medici, one of the most important families of the Italian Renaissance.
- Museo dell'Opera del Duomo (0.65 km) - The Museo dell'Opera del Duomo is an excellent museum detailing the construction of Florence Cathedral. Among the Renaissance masterpieces exhibited are a Pieta' by Michelangelo, choir-lofts by Donatello and Luca della Robbia, an altar sculpted by Verrocchio and Michelozzo and a model of Brunelleschi's dome.
- Orsanmichele (0.59 km) - Orsanmichele is one of the most important churches in Florence. Originally built as a grain store, it now houses important Renaissance works by Donatello, Ghiberti and Verrocchio. You can also still visit the original grain store above Orsanmichele.
- Santa Maria Novella (0.11 km) - Florence's Santa Maria Novella was the earliest of the great Florentine churches to be built. The stunning Renaissance façade of the former Dominican headquarters is matched by the beautiful interior, which houses works by Renaissance masters such as Brunelleschi, Ghirlandaio and Lippi. Also worthy of note is the stunning Cappella Strozzi, which takes its inspiration from Dante's Inferno. Next to Santa Maria Novella is the church museum, worth a look for the vivid frescoes in the cloisters and trhe Spanish Chapel. Take time to relax in the piazza in front of the church, a favourite picnic spot for the Florentines.
- Gozzoli's frescoes (0.46 km) - Gozzoli's stunning frescoes in the Medici-Riccardi palace are among the most beautiful Renaissance works in Florence. Lining three walls of the Chapel of the Magi, the frescoes tell the Nativity story in vivid detail, with each wall dedicated to one of the Magi. In true Renaissance fashion, members of the Medici family (including Lorenzo the Magnificent) can also be seen among the procession.
- Palazzo Corsini (0.48 km) - Walking through Palazzo Corsini you are immersed in the splendour of Florentine Renaissance life. Former home of the wealthy Corsini family, the use of perspective in the elaborate frescoes is astounding. The highlight of the palazzo is the Grotta, a lavish cave-like room surrounded on all sides by sculptures and paintings.
- Bussotti Wine Shop (0.65 km) - The Bussotti Wine Shop in Florence is one of the oldest in Italy. Although it houses wines from all Italian regions, Tuscan wines are the main focus, including the classics: Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti and Nobile di Montepulciano. Bussotti also stocks a good selection of Italian spumanti and champagne, a variety of wines from around the world and typical Italian regional products such as Neapolitan limoncello and Tuscan olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Scoppio del Carro - Explosion of the Cart (0.51 km) - The Scoppio del Carro (or Explosion of the Cart) takes place each year in the Piazza del Duomo. This is a historical event where a dove-shaped rocket called the 'Colombina' flies out of the famous Duomo and sets fires to a huge wodden cart in the square. It's a pagan ritual and is meant to secure good luck for the city and a good harvest - and now not only with harvests but in the everyday life and business of its citizens.
