Badia delle Sante Flora e Lucilla, Arezzo

The Badia delle Sante Flora e Lucilla features an octagonal bell tower and a single-nave design transitioning from Romanesque to Gothic styles.

The monastery relocated within Arezzo city limits in 1196 following orders from the Municipality to reduce their influence, establishing new premises by 1209.

The church houses significant artworks, including a 1319 painted Crucifix by Segna di Bonaventura and frescoes depicting Saint Lawrence by Bartolomeo della Gatta.

Visitors can access the church through its main entrance at Piazza della Badia 1-3, where they can observe Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements.

The dome features a trompe l'oeil fresco created by Andrea Pozzo in 1703, demonstrating advanced painting techniques of the Baroque period.
