Today, the competition is kept up annually in historic costumes in the same square, to commemorate the historical event.
The beautiful Church of Santa Croce, located in the square, presents on its interior some precious frescoes by Giotto and his pupil Taddeo Gaddi and, in its cloister, is a masterpiece of Renaissance’s architecture: the Brunelleschi’s Cappella de’ Pazzi. Going on our walk, we’ll find the interesting church dedicated to Sant’Ambrogio and the imponent Synagogue of Florence in its great Spanish-Moorish style.
