The Church of the Most Holy Annunciation, located in the eponymous square in Florence, is one of the city's most significant places of worship. Founded by the Servites of Mary in 1250, the church has been modified and expanded over the centuries, reflecting a combination of architectural styles ranging from Gothic to Baroque. The current facade, designed by Giovanni Battista Foggini in the 17th century, features an elegant portico with arches, adorned with statues and reliefs depicting religious scenes. The interior of the church is a triumph of Renaissance decorations and artworks, with side chapels frescoed by artists such as Andrea del Sarto, Pontormo, and Rosso Fiorentino. The high altar is dominated by the miraculous icon of the Annunciation, which is the spiritual and artistic heart of the church.

The Chapel of the Most Holy Annunciation, located at the center of the building, is particularly renowned for its frescoes by Cosimo Rosselli and Baldassarre Peruzzi. This sacred space houses the icon of the Annunciation, venerated for its miraculous powers and attracting numerous faithful. Adjacent to the church is the Cloister of the Vows, famous for its frescoes by Andrea del Sarto and Franciabigio, offering a corner of tranquility and reflection. The church's dome, designed by Leon Battista Alberti, is another example of Renaissance architectural excellence, with frescoes depicting biblical scenes and saints. Visiting the Church of the Most Holy Annunciation means immersing oneself in an environment rich in history, art, and spirituality, where every detail tells an important part of Florence's cultural heritage.

Opening Hours:

The Church of the Holy Annunciation welcomes visitors daily from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM and from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM. On Saturdays and Sundays, it is also open from 8:45 PM to 9:45 PM.
