The Church of Santissima Annunziata, built in 1250 by the Order of Servites (Servants of Mary), is considered the center of Santissima Annunziata Square. This basilica received its current appearance in 1444 - 1477, undergoing reconstruction under the leadership of Michelozzo and Leon Battista Alberti. Features of the Baroque style appeared in the church until the XVIII century, which gave the basilica an unexpectedly festive look. Today the church houses a small museum of painting, also called the "Monastery of Vows".→
