Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence

The Basilica is one of the city’s most prestigious resting places, and you’ll find some giants of Italian history getting their eternal rest in the building, which is well worth visiting. Pay your respects to the artistic genius of Michelanglelo, the scientific wonder that is Galileo, or the dodgy scheming of Machiavelli. They’re all here, and each they had a massive impact on the city you’re enjoying. I’m sure I don’t need to say it, but be respectful if you’re taking photos inside the church, especially at the tombs.
