Santa Felicita, Renaissance church in Oltrarno district, Florence, Italy
The Santa Felicita Church features a single nave design with symmetric chapels and grand architectural elements from the 1736 reconstruction by Ferdinando Ruggieri.
The church location dates to the second century when Syrian Greek merchants established a Christian community south of the Arno River in Florence.
The Capponi Chapel contains the Deposition and Annunciation paintings by Pontormo, representing significant examples of Florentine Mannerist art from 1525.
The church opens Monday through Saturday from 9:30 to 12:30 and 15:30 to 17:30, with entrance through a side door featuring a ramp for accessibility.
The Vasari Corridor passes through the church facade, incorporating a window where Medici rulers observed mass services without being seen by congregants.
