“The Santa Croce district is located in the south-east of the historic centre of Florence. The main monuments of this area is certainly the church of Santa Croce with marble façade situated in Piazza Santa square. Inside the basilica there are tombs of famous artists such as Machiavelli, Alfieri, Michelangelo and the tomb of Galileo Galilei. The square has a rectangular shape and every year in June hosts the historic Florentine football, perhaps the most important event in Florence, where football players from the 4 neighborhoods (represented by the colors, red, green, blue and white) compete in medieval football matches. In front of the church, there is the marble Monument of Dante Alighieri made by Enrico Pazzi in 1865. On the opposite side there is a fountain. In Santa croce area there are many nice restaurents and bars and is a great place to stay out at night and have a drinks with your family or your friends.”
