Santi Vincenzo e Caterina de' Ricci

The Santi Vincenzo e Caterina de' Ricci basilica displays baroque architecture with marble altars, frescoes, and detailed stucco decorations throughout its interior spaces.

Constructed in 1401, the church underwent extensive renovations between 1732 and 1735 under architects Giovanni Battista Bettini and Girolamo Ticciati following Catherine de' Ricci's beatification.

The church walls feature a collection of framed relief sculptures by Girolamo Ticciati and Vicenzo Foggini depicting the miracles associated with Saint Catherine.

The basilica remains open to visitors while certain areas of the connected convent maintain restricted access due to its active religious function.

A silver urn beneath the main altar contains the remains of Saint Catherine de' Ricci, who lived in the adjacent convent from 1535 to 1590.
