San Frediano in Cestello, Baroque church in Oltrarno district, Florence, Italy
The San Frediano in Cestello features a grand dome and bell tower facing the Arno River, with an unfinished stone facade and bright interior space.
The Cistercian monks acquired the site in 1628 and commissioned architect Gherardo Silvani to build the church, which was completed in 1689.
The dome contains frescoes depicting the Glory of Saint Magdalena by Anton Domenico Gabbiani and Virtues by Matteo Bonechi from the early 18th century.
Visitors can enter through a side door on the western alley of the building, with the church maintaining regular opening hours for both religious services and tours.
A wooden statue of the Smiling Madonna from the 13th or 14th century resides in the third chapel on the left side of the church.
