Santa Maria del Carmine, Minor basilica in Oltrarno district, Florence, Italy

Santa Maria del Carmine displays an incomplete stone and brick facade, with a Latin cross layout and a single nave containing five altars on each side.

The construction of this religious building started in 1268 as a Carmelite convent church and underwent major renovations after a fire destroyed its interior in 1771.

The Brancacci Chapel within the church contains Renaissance frescoes by Masaccio, Masolino da Panicale, and Filippino Lippi depicting biblical narratives.

The church maintains regular visiting hours from Monday to Saturday between 07:30-12:00 and 17:00-18:45, with adjusted Sunday schedules starting at 08:30.

The Corsini Chapel features marble bas-reliefs by Giovanni Battista Foggini and ceiling frescoes created by Luca Giordano depicting Saint Andrea Corsini.
