Duck into Santa Felicita on your way to Palazzo Pitti, a modest church with deep Medici links. Give it fifteen minutes to take in the quiet interior of a site worshipped on since late antiquity.
Full description
Santa Felicita sits close to Palazzo Pitti, which makes it an easy stop on the way to or from the Oltrarno's main sights. The current church dates from the 18th century but stands on the site of a far older place of worship from the 4th century, and the Medici family are associated with it.
Reviewers describe a relatively small, unassuming interior that rewards a short look rather than a long one, noting it receives far fewer visitors than the city's famous churches. Allow about fifteen minutes and check the split opening hours.

We came across the Chiesa di Santa Felicita while walking toward Palazzo Pitti and decided to stop in for a visit. This relatively small and historic Catholic church may not be particularly grand or ornate, but it has a charming atmosphere and a peaceful, welcoming feel. It makes for a lovely and worthwhile stop…
