This is one of the most famous churches in Florence and we spent 3 hours walking around with our instructor who has restored a few of them in here. You can't take photos inside but I did get a few from the Green Cloister and the Chapterhouse chapel. It's always so mind blowing to be in the presence of not only all the art work I took so many tests on, but with the people that know as much as God about them..humbling...
I realized why it was so difficult to blog lately. Each time we go out and do something with school I have to journal entry about it, so I feel like I've already written about it when it comes time to blogging. I'd just copy and paste it here but it would be like enrolling in an art history class...probably boring!
Here is the link in case you want to see more...gotta love wikipedia
