St Mark's English Church, Florence, Anglican church in Florence, Italy.

St Mark's English Church stands in a converted 15th-century palazzo, featuring Renaissance Revival architecture with Pre-Raphaelite interior decorations and floral patterns.

Reverend Charles Tooth established the church in 1877 as a house church, later purchasing the palazzo in 1880 and transforming it into a formal worship space.

The church hosts numerous classical music performances throughout the year, including Italian opera productions by its resident opera company established over ten years ago.

The church building spans 90 feet in length and accommodates 400 people, offering regular Anglican services with refreshments served in the 15th Century Salone.

A white marble statue titled 'The Apotheosis of Saint Mark' by American sculptor Jason Arkles decorates the church's exterior.
