Sant'Ambrogio Chuch, Gothic Catholic church in Santa Croce district, Florence, Italy
The church features pointed arches on its exterior facade and contains a high altar with ornate decorations and carved details within its walls.
Founded in 701 CE on the site where Saint Ambrose stayed during his visit to Florence in 393, the church underwent reconstruction in the 17th century.
The church preserves numerous Renaissance artworks, including frescoes by Cosimo Rosselli and a wooden sculpture of St Sebastian by Leonardo del Tasso.
The church stands near a daily market offering local products, with convenient access to public transportation in central Florence.
A chalice containing blood instead of wine was discovered in 1230, transforming the church into a pilgrimage destination with the relic preserved in a dedicated chapel.
