San Donato in Scopeto, Medieval church in Florence, Italy.

San Donato in Scopeto stands outside Florence's city walls, featuring Gothic architectural elements and traditional Romanesque design characteristics within its structure.

The church dates back to the 11th century and later became associated with Augustinian monks who commissioned Leonardo da Vinci for an altarpiece in 1481.

The church gained recognition through Leonardo da Vinci's unfinished 'Adoration of the Magi,' which Filippino Lippi later recreated for the altar in 1496.

Visitors can reach the church by following the signs from Florence's city center, with specific opening hours varying according to seasonal schedules.

The original unfinished altarpiece by Leonardo da Vinci reveals his artistic process through various stages of development, from initial sketches to refined details.
