Church of San Gallo

The Church of San Gallo stands at the intersection of architectural design and religious function in northern Florence, featuring stone walls and renaissance elements.

Constructed in 1218 and commissioned by the Medici family, the church underwent substantial changes until its destruction during the Siege of Florence in 1529.

The San Gallo church contained important artworks by Andrea del Sarto, including the Disputation on the Trinity, which were relocated within Florence's walls.

The church site remains accessible from the city center of Florence, with regular bus connections stopping near the former location at coordinates 43°47'10"N.

Architect Giuliano da Sangallo's original drawings of the church survive, showing detailed plans for architrave and pilaster arrangements in the building design.
