点评:More than the cathedral the Santa Maria Novella is a truly amazing place to visit.
The facade is decorated as the baptistery and the cathedral, but the entire complex is so vast it will take you hours to visit.
Church founded in 1219 by the Dominican order; they then soon started their pharmacy business which is now still functioning in the Officina in the street behind the church. When in the cloister you will find two windows giving you a view into the shop - which also tells you how big the site actually is stretching over several streets and blocks of houses.
The visit is very big - there is the church of course, then the Spanish chapel which is richly decorated and absolutely stunning showing the Dominican monks fighting heresy. You will visit two cloisters and the cemetery as well as the refectory with frescos by Daddi and a papal chapel used by the popes when they visited Florence. Pope Leo X was a Medici family member - so he visited frequently.
The whole visit is easily 2 hours; it is included in the Firenze Pass and no reservation is needed.
翻译:新圣母玛利亚教堂比大教堂本身更值得一游。
教堂正面的装饰与洗礼堂和大教堂相似,但整个建筑群规模庞大,参观起来需要几个小时。
这座教堂由多明我会于1219年创建;之后不久,他们便开始了药房业务,如今仍在教堂后街的药房里营业。在回廊里,您会发现两扇窗户,可以透过窗户看到药房内部——这也说明了教堂的规模之大,横跨数条街道和数栋房屋。
参观内容非常丰富——当然,首先是教堂本身,然后是西班牙小教堂,它装饰华丽,展现了多明我会修士与异端斗争的场景,令人叹为观止。您将参观两个回廊、墓地、带有达迪壁画的食堂,以及教皇访问佛罗伦萨时使用的教皇小教堂。教皇利奥十世是美第奇家族的成员,因此他经常来访。
整个参观过程只需 2 个小时;它包含在佛罗伦萨通票中,无需预订。
