History of Badia Fiorentina

The Badia Fiorentina was built in the 12th century and it's the oldest church of Florence. It has this tall, bell tower that everyone sees when they walk outside but what looks like an ordinary facade hiding inside are all these beautiful pieces for your eyes only! The daily masses here make up one secret gem to explore on foot while seeing how touristy everything else gets around noon time.

Badia Fiorentina is a beautiful church that you can find just around the corner from some of Florence's most famous landmarks, such as Palazzo Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery. The oldest building in this medieval town was originally built back in 978 by Charlemagne (or Charles I) for his wife Bertaut Bon Duchess Adelaide who later became Queen Of France after becoming princess when he fathered daughter Aimee with an unknown woman before divorcing her then marrying Be.

The church was built in memory of Ugo's late father, Countess Willa. Every year on December 21st there are special masses dedicated to him so that his legacy will live forever through this Church which she donated money too but most importantly gave birth an amazing son: Eugene III de' Medici - founder and ruler over Florence up until 1434 A D when he died while fighting against Pisa during the Battle Of Anghiari.

Badia Fiorentina is home to many magnificent artworks as well. Upon walking in, you can see the Apparition of Virgin Mary by Filippino Lippi- an incredible renaissance masterpiece with detailed paintwork and skilled sculptures inside! There are also pipe organs that were installed centuries ago; one dates back all the way till 1558 when it was brought here from Ferrara during Francesco d'Assisi's ownership (whoever knew he had such good taste?). The Badia enjoys celebrity status for its Cloister Of Oranges - where they first tried planting exotic oranges on.

According to the monks and nuns who live at Badia Fiorentina, there is mass daily at 6 pm. This special event offers tourists an opportunity for peace while also allowing locals a chance enjoy something new that they may not have been able before this point in time.

The grounds of this Santa Croce di Borromean sanctuary offer visitors both serenity goggles off-the beaten path sightseeing opportunities with breathtaking views from atop Monticchiello Hill or on foot along winding paths through lush green scenery filled fields full of fruit trees--all without costing you one penny!
