San Barnaba, Gothic church in central Florence, Italy
The San Barnaba church stands at the intersection of Via Panicale and Via Guelfa, displaying heraldic symbols including a red cross and an eagle defeating a dragon.
Built in the 14th century by the Chapter of St. Lawrence, the church commemorates the Guelphs' victory over Ghibelline forces at the Battle of Campaldino in 1289.
The interior contains multiple paintings from renowned artists, with its altarpiece by Sandro Botticelli now preserved in the Uffizi Gallery collection.
The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors who want to observe the terracotta Madonna created by Giovanni Della Robbia at the portal entrance.
The gilded wooden ceiling, completed in 1717 by Giovanni Vernaccini, represents modifications made after the Carmelite order took control of the complex.
