Basilica of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini

The basilica features a tripartite travertine facade with eight Corinthian columns, three entrance portals, and statues of Florentine saints above the entablature.

Construction began in 1519 under Pope Leo X, with architects including Sansovino, Sangallo, and Della Porta, while the facade was completed by Alessandro Galilei in 1734.

The church served as the national place of worship for the Florentine community in Rome, who operated as merchants and money changers near Ponte Sant'Angelo.

The basilica contains the Historical Archives of the Florentine Archconfraternity, preserving documents and artistic works from the 15th century to the present day.

The remains of architects Carlo Maderno and Francesco Borromini rest within the central nave, marked by pillars supporting rounded arches.
