Description
Sitting atop one of the highest points in Florence Italy is the basilica of San Miniato al Monte. It has been described as one of the finest Romanesque structures in Tuscany and one of the most scenic churches in Italy. Legend has it that St Miniato was an Armenian prince serving in the Roman army who was denounced for being a Christian. The Roman Emperor ordered him to be thrown to the beasts in the Amphitheatre, but the beasts refused to eat him. He was then beheaded (CE 250), and in one of the ongoing themes of Christian mythology, he picked up his head and walked up the hill above Florence to his hermitage. A shrine was later erected at the spot. Nice centuries later in 1013, a church was dedicated to this martyr. The geometrically patterned marble façade was probably begun in about 1090, although the upper parts date from the 12th century or later. The mosaic on the pediment dates from the beginning of the 13th century.
