The Piazza Santa Croce is my favorite spot in Florence. It’s easily walkable from the Duomo but much less croweded. The piazza perfectly frames the Basilica and on a sunny morning, is the perfect spot for a café and cornetto. The Church has many interesting historical figures entombed within including Michelangelo and Galileo but not Dante who is memorialized there but who’s body remains in Ravella despite centuries long attempt to bring him back to Florence.
