How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A large Franciscan church in the east of the city, with a glyph on its wall and a cloister used in a mission.
The real place
The game shows the neo-Gothic marble façade, which dates from 1857 to 1863, so it is an anachronism. Brunelleschi's Pazzi Chapel in the cloister dates from the game's time.
Visiting
Entry is ticketed and includes the cloisters and the Pazzi Chapel. Allow at least an hour.
