San Salvi, Church building and Italian national heritage in Florence, Italy

The San Salvi church features a single aisle with a Latin-cross layout, rectangular apse, and Renaissance architectural elements throughout the structure.

Founded in 1001, the church underwent reconstruction after partial destruction during the 1529 Siege of Florence, maintaining its original design except for the 16th-century portico.

The Great Refectory contains an eight-meter-long Last Supper fresco by Andrea del Sarto, completed in 1527 with assistance from his pupils.

The site operates as a museum space where visitors can examine Renaissance art and architecture in a central Florence location.

The Last Supper fresco survived the 1529 siege because Imperial forces protected it, while surrounding structures received substantial damage.
