The Basilica of Santa Maria del Santo Spirito, or simply Santo Spirito, is a major monastery in the Oltrarno District of Florence[1] and the city's principal Dominican church.[2]
History
The Italian architect Filippo Brunelleschi began designing the Santo Spirito in the year 1428. After his death, followers of his like Antonio Manetti, Giovanni da Gaiole, and Salvi d'Andrea carried on his work. The sacristy was designed by Simone del Pollaiolo and the bell tower, built in 1503, was designed by Baccio d'Agnolo. [citation needed]
Behind the scenes
Santo Spirito features in Assassin's Creed II, but it is only accessible after the Oltrarno District has been unlocked with the Bonfire of the Vanities downloadable content. In spite of this, it is missing its database entry, making it the only landmark in the game's map of Florence that does not have one. It only receives a mention in the "Oltrarno Disrict" entry.
