This morning I had some time on my hands before work started -
so I decided to visit Santa Crocce (which is the church right next to our apartment) and the Baptistry at the Duomo.
The outside of the Duomo - so lovely and HUGE! The inside is free to to
ur, but usually full of big groups.
The outside of Santa Croce - there is still an active convent here,
and it is very pretty and Tuscan looking.
The three pics above are the in and outside of Santa Croce. The tombs of Galileo, Machiavelli and Dante are all inside. Quite an impressive list! The panels and frescos are gorgeous. But not quite as amazing as....
The inside of the Baptistry! It is beautiful and gold :)
These churches remind me of the grange on Lummi Island where we go to church. NOT!
