If they can have competitions in San Gimignano for the best windows, I can include a collection of windows, from inside and out. First from the Baptistery at the Duomo. These were all around the octagonal building near the roof line.
In the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, I tried my hand at taking photos of the stained glass windows.
In the Basilica of Santa Croce, nearly all of the wall of the nave has strained glass windows.
Outside in the Piazza of Santa Croce, the buildings sported a variety of windows.
The last building in the above set of pictures from the Piazza of Santa Croce had frescoes running between the windows. I don’t know how old they might be (or what the name of the building is).
The Palazzo Vecchio hosts the office for the current city government of Florence, and the assembly hall is still use for official occasions. The photo is a window in that room.
I didn’t take pictures of any windows in the Pitti Palace, but from a veranda we could walk out onto, I got these nice pictures of Florence.
and more treasures to come….
