Piazzale Michelangelo and the San Miniato al Monte Church

A short uphill road and a picturesque staircase take you to Piazzale Michelangelo, the terrace overlooking Florence, and to the church of San Miniato. Piazzale Michelangelo offers you the unforgettable panorama of the city, but it is often crowded with tourists, while inside the church of San Miniato the silence is mystical. The frescoes, the altarpieces, the mosaics are centuries old, so the atmosphere has remained the same as in medieval time.
