Santa Reparata, Florence, Archaeological crypt beneath Florence Cathedral, Italy
The excavated remains of Santa Reparata reveal multiple layers of religious structures, including ancient tombs, mosaic floors, and architectural foundations beneath Florence Cathedral.
Santa Reparata functioned as Florence's primary cathedral from the 6th to 13th centuries until the construction of the current Florence Cathedral commenced in 1296.
The crypt contains numerous medieval tombstones, decorative stone carvings, and architectural fragments that demonstrate the evolution of Florentine religious art through centuries.
Visitors can access Santa Reparata through the Florence Cathedral or via a street entrance near Giotto's Bell Tower from Monday to Saturday between 10:15 and 16:45.
The archaeological site preserves fragments of an ancient Roman house with geometric mosaics dating from the 1st century beneath the religious structures.
