The center chancel hold an altarpiece by Mariotto di Nardo depicting the Trinity (1406).
The St. Trinity Church, or Church of Santa Trinita, overlooks the square of the same name and can easily be reached by walking down via de' Tornabuoni, one of the most elegant streets in Florence's city center, down towards the Arno River. A few steps away stands the Santa Trinita bridge over the Arno.Commissioned by Vallombrosan Benedictine monks, the Santa Trinita Church was founded in the middle of the 11th century. Originally located just off the ancient city walls, the church was incorporated into the city center when the second walls were built in 1172-1173.
Santa Trinita was originally built in a simple Romanesque style respecting the austerity of the Vallombrosan order, but later was enlarged and restored following a Gothic style. The restoration works started at the beginning of the 1300s and went on for the entire century after.
