Santa Croce, or Holy Cross Church, ranks second only to the Duomo. And, like the Duomo, it was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio. It's the main Franciscan church in Florence, said to have been founded by St Francis himself. Begun in 1294, it held the Council of Florence in 1436, where the Catholic and Orthodox churches attempted to heal the ancient rift between them (without success).
This church has a long list of artistic treasures. It also houses the mortal remains of many of Italy's most distinguished writers, artists, scientists, and others. The list includes Dante, Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli.
