Santa Croce Cathedral

About

The voice of hymns flowing from the choir seems to carry along the cathedral's dark corridors. The figures within Giotto's frescoes remain quietly in place, oblivious to time, and the souls of Italy asleep here whisper through the night. Within an octagonal structure reflecting the symbol of Saint Francis, many altars adorned with stained glass sparkle in the sunlight, creating a mysterious boundary between darkness and light. The gilded altar, like an ancient Egyptian relic, still quietly preserves the resonance of profound faith even today. In the air of this cathedral, the mystery and faith of old remain intact, so that with every step you take, past and present seem to flow together.
