Italian churches

Tuscan worship buildings

Italian churches are historic Catholic churches in Italy, often notable for their art, architecture, and cultural significance.

The phrase typically refers to famous examples like St.

Peter's Basilica or the Duomo in Florence, visited as much for their artistic treasures as for worship: We spent the whole trip touring Italian churches.
