Badia delle Sante Flora e Lucilla

The Badia delle Sante Flora e Lucilla — commonly known as the Chiesa di Badia — is a Catholic church in the historic center of Arezzo, founded in 1201 as a Romanesque monastic church. In the 16th century it underwent a comprehensive interior redesign, a project in which Giorgio Vasari, Arezzo's native architect and art chronicler, played a significant role, lending the space the measured Renaissance sensibility that marks his work across Tuscany. The exterior still retains traces of its medieval origins while the interior presents the layered result of six centuries of use as an abbey church. Visitors today find an intimate space with frescoes and sacred artworks that reflect its long monastic history.
