Hotels near Santa Maria Novella Square

The Santa Maria Novella Square is an area that is central to Florence, and is visited by many travelers every year. It is a place where people converge, and come together as they sightsee through the city, and is in very close proximity to both the Santa Maria Novella train station, and of course the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella. Visitors that come to the Santa Maria Novella Square are typically there to see the Basilica, which is one of the oldest standing churches in the city, and is currently the main church of the Dominican order. The Basilica of Santa Maria Novella has a storied history in the city of Florence, beginning with its initial design in the mid-13th century by Dominican friars. Through the years, it has undergone Gothic and Renaissance makeovers and renovations, and is an example of an evolutionary design that incorporates many different architectural styles that were included throughout its many years of existence. The Santa Maria Novella Square was once used to host an annual Florentine chariot race until the 19th century. There are two remaining obelisks, seated on bronze tortoise sculptures that once served as the start and finish lines for these races, though today they serve merely as reminders of the past.
