In the heart of Florence, near the Ponte Vecchio, stands the church of Santo Stefano al Ponte, one of the oldest churches of Florence. Used as well as a fabulous event venue, you can partake in wonderful concerts. The lower part of the facade dates back to 1233 and retains Romanesque elements, while the upper part was rebuilt during the Gothic renewal. The interior was renovated during the Baroque period. It is full of stunning works of art and decoration, including the beautiful staircase by Buontalenti, with a marble balustrade, built in 1574. Numerous paintings also remain from the Renaissance period.

it's an old church now museum with interactive video and music sometimes 3d visual image. Different experience away from traditional museum. 2 min by walk far away from the apt, in a very small square

The church was already existing in 1116. It presents a romanesque facade where the inferior part is the most ancient with simple doors and round arches.
