Badia a Settimo, Romanesque abbey in Scandicci, Italy.
The Badia a Settimo features three naves with trabeation on the sides and contains glazed terracotta decorations created by Buglioni.
The monastery transitioned from Benedictine to Cistercian order in 1236 through a decree issued by Pope Gregory IX under the abbey of Galgano Guidotti.
The chapel of San Jacopo preserves frescoes from 1315 attributed to Buffalmacco, while another chapel displays works by Giovanni da San Giovanni from 1629.
Located at Via San Lorenzo a Settimo 19, the abbey maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture and medieval art.
The church facade combines three architectural periods, displaying Romanesque irregular decorations, a Gothic rose window, and Renaissance-style entrance portals.
