About
The Church of Santa Monaca (Chiesa di Santa Monaca) in Florence is a lesser-known but historically significant church located in the Oltrarno district, south of the Arno River.
The church was founded in the 13th century and is dedicated to St. Monica, the mother of St. Augustine. It was originally associated with a convent of Augustinian nuns.
The church features a simple, yet charming, architectural style typical of many Florentine churches from its era. The façade is relatively modest, in keeping with the understated elegance of many local religious buildings.
