Sacra Famiglia

Sacra Famiglia is a Gothic Revival church in Florence featuring pointed arches, soaring windows, and a central entrance portal. The portal lunette displays a carved image of the Holy Family in stone.

Pietro Tincolini designed this church in 1904 drawing inspiration from Florence's Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. The building emerged during an era when the city revisited its Gothic architectural traditions.

The church serves as a gathering place for Catholic worship and community meetings throughout the year. Its role remains deeply connected to the religious life of the Florence archdiocese.

The church sits on Via Gioberti and is easy to reach on foot in the city center. Visitors can see the interior pipe organ while exploring the devotional space.

The interior layout follows a Latin cross floor plan, merging traditional church form with Gothic Revival style. Artworks by Giuseppe Cassioli and Umberto Bartoli add sculptural detail throughout the devotional spaces.
