Local Attractions near Albergo San Giovanni
- Duomo - Cathedral of Florence (0.14 km) -
- Medici Chapels (0.16 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 (0.26 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 (0.3 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.
- Bargello Museum (0.36 km) - Florence's Bargello Museum houses the largest collection of medieval and Renaissance sculpture in Italy. Housed in the impressive Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, the museum has rooms dedicated to Renaissance masters such as Michelangelo, Verrocchio and Giovanni and Andrea della Robbia.
- Piazza della Signoria (0.46 km) - The Piazza della Signoria is the most enchanting square in Florence and is always buzzing with people. Beautiful Palazzo Vecchio (or Palazzo della Signoria), with its distinctive bell-tower, is the most recognisable building lining the square. Next door is the Loggia of the Lanzi, which houses some important Renaissance sculpture. The piazza is also renowned for its replica of Michelangelo's David (the original is kept at the Accademia gallery).
- Gozzoli's frescoes (0.2 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.
- Florence Accademia Art Gallery (0.46 km) - The impressive Galleria dell'Accademia is home to Michelangelo's Renaissance masterpiece David. The Accademia also houses other sculptures by Michelangelo, the Madonna of the Sea by Botticelli and numerous religious works by Florentine Renaissance artists. The museum has also recently acquired the Medici and Lorraine musical instrument collections.
- Palazzo Vecchio (0.46 km) - Florence's Palazzo Vecchio is one of the symbols of the city. Originally home to the Florentine republican government, the ruling Medici then took over the palazzo for a few years and the lavish décor you can now see is largely due to their court artist Giorgio Vasari. Most rooms are elaborately frescoed by Vasari and Ghirlandaio and the Map Room (once Machiavelli's office) is lined by Renaissance paintings of all known world geography at the time. You might even encounter 'Vasari' himself who will explain his work. It is also worth booking a guided tour of the secret passageways the Medici family had built.
- Scoppio del Carro - Explosion of the Cart (0.12 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.
