I have officially found my favorite church in Florence (it took me long enough)! Originally a pilgrimage church, the Romanesque San Miniato hovers over Florence, welcoming people to the city. The beautiful mosaics over the alter remind me of Santa Maria in Trastevere in Rome (another favorite) and the views of Florence from this vantage point are spectacular. I'm excited to go sometime soon to the evening vespers mass, which is predominantly sung aloud.
