Church and Museum of Orsanmichele is known for the sculptures of saints by the various guilds of Florence, distributed throughout the church. View the timeline of the sculptures, created between 1340 and 1602, to appreciate the shift from Gothic to Renaissance art. Artists, such as Donatello, Ghiberti, Brunelleschi, and Giambologna, created the pieces. Read about the history of the church as a 14th-century grain hall and how it was converted into a place of worship later on. You can tour the museum on the second floor, or make your way to the top, where a viewing room gives you a 360-degree look at Firenze.

    Beautiful church with very interesting statues. The originals can be seen in the museum on the upper floors and also you have a nice view from there. Definitely worth a visit, even if it's only for a few minutes.

    Unfortunately could only see the statues outside and a quick glimpse of the inside due to repairs.
