People gravitate here also because close to the church lies the Florence central railway station: the modern and omonymous Santa Maria Novella station. Thanks to its strategical position, really in the heart of Florence and easily reachable from every side of the city, this area is considered one of the principal starting point for visiting museums and major monuments. One of the most important european music festivals, the prestigious “Maggio Musicale Fiorentino”, is represented in the famous Teatro Comunale, located in a suggestive position of this area, very close to the blond river Arno.
